FREE Carfax Flood Checks

The number of flood damaged cars showing up for sale in Illinois has increased by 96% since 2002. With hurricane season beginning, and with used car buying season and summer travel in full swing, Carfax.com wants to ensure that Illinois consumers are on the lookout.

Carfax is offering FREE Carfax Flood Checks ( http://www.carfax.com/flood ) to used car buyers and owners nationwide to assist them in avoiding flood-damaged wrecks. All you need is your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to get the report.

Last year, Hurricane Katrina left an estimated 250,000 flood damaged cars in its wake. Flood damaged cars are often dried out, repaired cosmetically and then moved to another state to be sold to unsuspecting consumers.

A Carfax vehicle history report will provide many details on a car's past, including flood titles and will indicate if a vehicle has been titled/registered in at-risk areas during flood and hurricane seasons.
