Major floods have affected many parts of the U.S. over the past few months. Many thousands of cars and SUVs have been flooded and owners would be eagerly selling them off in the used car market. To save used car buyers from buying flooded lemons, Carfax is coming to the rescue. Flood damage information is reported to Carfax from all 50 state DMVs and as a free service to consumers across U.S., is available for reference at www.carfax.com/flood. I would also suggest buyers of used cars to go in for a thorough inspection by a trained mechanic prior to putting the money down on a used car in such a situation.
