Used Car Shopping and Comparison Now Easier and Faster

Schaumburg, Ill., September 17, 2007 - When you're used car shopping, trying to understand the meaning of all the information on a vehicle history report can be a confusing and lengthy process. Should I buy a car that was a rental? How do I know the car isn't a lemon?

Experian Automotive, a division of global information solutions company Experian^® Inc., today announced that the AutoCheck Score is now available to consumers on all AutoCheck vehicle history reports at www.autocheck.com.

Just as credit scores revolutionized credit reporting, the new AutoCheck Score is changing the way used vehicles are bought and sold. The AutoCheck Score accomplishes this by distilling the large amount of information on a vehicle history report into a simple, numeric score. As the industry's first and only vehicle history score, the AutoCheck Score empowers consumers with the confidence and information they need to more easily and quickly understand what a vehicle history report really says about a specific used vehicle's history.

"Until now, many consumers have been on their own when it comes to weighing the factors on a used car's vehicle history report in order to make their buying decision," said Adam Goldfein, host of nationally syndicated radio show AutoScoop. "Instead of having to make assumptions about what it all means, the AutoCheck Score tells consumers what really matters when evaluating a vehicle's history, providing them with more confidence in their vehicle purchase."

The AutoCheck Score is listed as a number from one to 100 that accurately summarizes the individual items and events in a vehicle's history in a way that consumers can readily understand. It is accompanied by the AutoCheck Score Range^SM, which compares it to other vehicles of similar age and class to better help consumers when evaluating a used vehicle.
