We face a very industrious group of con artists. No matter what the laws are, there are people who will see opportunities.

We're really picking up the pace this year in light of the devastating floods and the growing demand for vehicle history information. We already have major product improvements that we'll be unveiling in the coming weeks. Our commitment to providing our customers with the most comprehensive vehicle history information available is stronger than ever.

A mechanic is going to be able to look for signs of water damage that won't appear on a title document or a piece of paper. Things like water levels in the engine well, rusting wires. He can look inside your ventilation system and see if there's any debris.

It seems foolish, to me, to not want to have access to this information.

It's going to be a great year for used-car prices. If something doesn't feel right, walk away. Find another vehicle.

We've added a FEMA disaster advisory alerting consumers to cars that were registered in the gulf.
