CARFAX GLOSSARY OF TERMS and DEFINITIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUTO AUCTION - Auto auctions provide CARFAX with odometer readings of
vehicles brought to the auction for sale (and whether or not it sold). It is
common practice for vehicles to be wholesaled at auctions.

DAMAGE DISCLOSURE TITLE - The title issued when the seller indicates that
the vehicle has sustained damage as a result of one or more incidents. The
amount of damage varies by state.

DATE REPORTED - Refers to the date when the transaction occurred.

DEALER SERVICE COMPANY - Dealer Service Companies assist auto dealers manage
their inventories. These companies offer data services in the areas of mass
marketing, maintenance notification, unit labeling and advertising. Not all
dealer service companies report information to CARFAX.

EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS - Many states or counties require annual or biennial
emissions inspections. Odometer readings are collected at the time of the
inspection.

EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS - When the seller certifies, under the Truth in
Mileage Act, that the odometer reading EXCEEDS MECHANICAL LIMITS of the
odometer, usually 99,999 miles.

EXEMPT VEHICLE - The vehicle is over 10 years old, was manufactured before
1986, and is exempt from odometer reporting requirements.

FAILED EMISSIONS INSPECTION - The tests and inspections performed at a
specific emissions check indicated the vehicle was emitting more than
allowable emissions standards and/or had missing or modified parts. An
emissions failure, even if the vehicle passes at a future date, generates a
Failed Emissions Record in the CARFAX database.

FLEET MANAGEMENT COMPANY - Fleet Management Companies provide the management
of financing, insurance, maintenance and repair of fleet vehicles owned by
other businesses. Fleet companies are typically self- insured. Vehicles that
have sustained varying degrees of damage have been reported to CARFAX,
however not all fleet management companies report information to CARFAX.

FLOOD DAMAGE TITLE - States issue flood titles when a vehicle has been in a
flood or has received extensive water damage.

GENERAL COMMENTS - CARFAX reports display important information in the
General Comment section, including potential problems for each transaction.
Comments will vary, depending on the source of the information.

INFORMATION SOURCE - Refers to the provider or origin of the transaction.
There are several sources you may see on a report including Motor Vehicle
Department, Auto Auctions, Salvage Auctions, and Emissions Inspection
Stations.

LEMON LAW VEHICLE - A vehicle with major problems which has been repurchased
by or had its price renegotiated with the manufacturer. The state marks its
official records or issues an identifying title for lemon law vehicles. Laws
vary by state as to the specific requirements for a "buyback."

LIEN - A lien is an ownership right to a piece of property. When a financial
institution loans money to someone purchasing a vehicle, the financial
institution has a lien on the vehicle. Other types of liens include
mechanics' liens and child support liens.

MOTOR VEHICLE DEPT. - Motor Vehicle Departments issue both titles and
registrations to a vehicle's owner. Each title or registration record which
appears on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in
ownership. New titles and registrations can be created for name, address and
lienholder changes; ownership changes; vehicle status changes; registration
activity; title corrections; and lost titles.

NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE - When the seller certifies, under the Truth in Mileage
Act, that the odometer reading is NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE. This may occur because
the disclosed odometer reading was not accurate and verifiable.

ODOMETER ROLLBACK - If a more recent odometer reading is less than an older
reading, then the odometer may have been "rolled back."

REBUILT/RECONSTRUCTED TITLE - The vehicle sustained damage and was rebuilt
or reconstructed, then placed back on the road.

REPOSSESSION - When a repossession occurs a vehicle owner fails to make loan
payments, and the financial institution holding the title takes possession
of the vehicle.

SALVAGE AUCTION RECORD - Vehicles that are sold at salvage auctions. These
vehicles have been declared a total loss by an insurance company, are
recovered stolen vehicles, or have been repossessed.

SALVAGE/JUNK TITLE - States issue salvage titles when an insurance company
takes possession of a vehicle as a result of a claim. This generally occurs
after a vehicle has been declared a total loss. States issue junk titles to
indicate that a vehicle is not road worthy and cannot be titled again in
that state.

SERVICE PLAN COMPANY - Service Plan Companies market extended warranty plans
to buyers of both new and used cars as mechanical breakdown insurance.
Information is collected from service plan companies when they issue
contracts and when they pay repair claims. Not all service plan companies
report information to CARFAX.

TITLE ISSUED - A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof
of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration
record which appears on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a
change in ownership.

TOTAL LOSS - An insurance company declares a vehicle a total loss when
paying a claim for the full value of the vehicle. Insurance companies
typically take possession and obtain the title of such vehicles.

VEHICLE ID NO. - This 17 character number is unique to each vehicle. It
identifies characteristics of the vehicle, including manufacturer, year,
model, body, engine specifications, and serial number.
