Carfax Enhances Partnership with Jaguar; Free Carfax Vehicle History Reports Will Be Available For All Select Edition Vehicles Listed Online

FAIRFAX, Va.--July 31, 2006--Carfax today announced an expanded role in the Jaguar Select Edition Certified Pre-Owned program. Carfax Vehicle History Reports, a continued requirement of the Jaguar certification process, will be available free wherever Jaguar Select Edition vehicles are sold online. Starting Aug. 1, 2006, used car shoppers will have instant access to the reports from each vehicle listing with the simple click of a mouse.

"We're honored to be a key component in one of the best certified programs available today," said Joe Koenig, vice president of business development at Carfax. "Jaguar and Carfax are continuing to work together to improve the Select Edition program for our customers. With so many used car shoppers starting the process online, we're equally committed to making sure vehicle history information is readily available wherever Jaguar customers shop."

Since 2002, Jaguar dealers must run a Carfax Vehicle History Report on every vehicle submitted for certification. In addition to qualifying for the Carfax Buyback Guarantee, each car must undergo a stringent 140-point quality and reliability inspection performed with an exacting level of scrutiny and attention to detail to become a Select Edition Certified Pre-Owned Jaguar. A free Carfax Vehicle History Report is provided for each certified Jaguar car for sale at the dealership and online.

"Our customers are incredibly savvy shoppers and expect nothing but the best from the Select Edition program," said Glenn Drake, National Remarketing Manager at Jaguar Cars Land Rover North America, Inc. "We've taken another step forward to ensure the most discerning online shoppers know they're purchasing a top quality Jaguar automobile. Carfax Vehicle History Reports make the best certified program even better."

Jaguar Select Edition recently clinched the independently-audited IntelliChoice award for Best Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program in the luxury class segment for the fifth consecutive year.
