Is Your Car A Lemon? Carfax.com Adds Lemon Titles to Help Northwestern Consumers Avoid Bad CarsFAIRFAX, Va., Dec. 27 -- Used car buyers can now rest even easier. Carfax.com, the nation's leading provider of vehicle history information, today announced the addition of thousands of Washington lemon cars to its 980 million-record-strong database. Carfax.com continues to have consumers covered in the Northwest, with information to make used vehicle buyers "car smart." Consumers can check to see if the used car or truck they're considering buying is a lemon by using the Free Lemon Check at http://www.Carfax.com. Just what do these records mean to the consumer? In addition to the other valuable information in a Carfax.com report, such as flood damage, odometer fraud or totaled-vehicle information, consumers can see manufacturer buyback records for Washington vehicles. Now used car buyers can either trust the seller who says the vehicle is cherry, or uncover any lemons with records from the Washington Department of Motor Vehicles. "I just wanted to thank you for your great online service," says Pat Benton from Washington. "The vehicle history report I received saved me from buying a $9000 lemon. I'll be telling all my friends about Carfax." Consumers should ask their used car dealer to provide a detailed vehicle history. Participating Carfax dealers can be located at http://www.Carfax.com. If not available through a dealer, consumers can visit Carfax.com to purchase 60 days of unlimited access to the company's database for $19.95. Individuals who purchase and receive Carfax reports that confirm a clean title history automatically receive the Clean Title History Guarantee worth 10% of the value of their vehicle up to $1,000. Used car dealers interested in signing up for the Carfax service should call 800-444-0145.
