"CARFAX Auction Quick Check is a must-have for the online auction process,"
said Dave Stambaugh, Used Car Manager at Shenango Honda in Hermitage, PA. "Our
buyers can easily identify top quality cars wholesaled through AutoLookout and
aggressively bid on the ones our customers want. Carfax helps our dealerships,
as well as our customers, buy smarter and with more confidence."

CARFAX Auction Quick Check highlights those cars that would command a premium
price on the retail market, such as Carfax 1-Owner cars. Dealers can quickly
identify these much-sought-after units and bid competitively for them. Carfax
and AutoLookout have integrated services to provide a seamless solution for
their mutual customers.

"The fact is, retail buyers use Carfax Reports in their evaluations, so it
makes sense for dealers to know what their customers know," said Dan Diedrich,
President of AutoLookout. "Our auction clients requested this functionality
for their buyers and we happily obliged.  It is about convenience for the
dealer. Information at their fingertips leads to better buys and more
satisfied customers."

Online auction buyers are bidding with greater confidence and cherry-picking
their inventory with readily available access to vehicle history information
from Carfax. To sign up with Carfax or get CARFAX Auction Quick Check call
