Carfax Unveils the Next Generation Vehicle History Report

FAIRFAX, Va.--April 25, 2006--Carfax, the leading provider of vehicle history information, today unveiled a newly envisioned Carfax Vehicle History Report that will significantly enhance the way used cars are bought and sold. The report is designed to help both consumers shopping on dealers' lots as well as the growing millions who choose to shop online. A major new product development is the exclusive CARFAX 1-Owner assessment that highlights these much sought after vehicles - helping consumers shop with greater confidence.

"We've seen remarkable change in the way people buy and sell used cars over the past twenty years," said Dick Raines, president of Carfax. "Readily available vehicle history information has helped fuel this change. Carfax Vehicle History Reports are one tool consumers should use in the shopping process - a tool we believe continues redefining how used cars are evaluated. Our customers tell us that knowing the number of owners is important in their decision-making and we're delivering for them."

The new Carfax Vehicle History Report still contains information compiled from nearly 8,000 data sources. This valuable information is now presented in a streamlined, easy-to-understand format, making Carfax Reports a more effective resource for consumers throughout their shopping process. The more concise Carfax Vehicle History Report will save consumers both time and money.

Consumers should ask for a Carfax Vehicle History Report wherever they shop for used cars. They're available from more than 26,000 dealers around the country, through 23 manufacturer certified pre-owned programs and on major online shopping sites like AutoTrader.com and cars.com.
