CENTREVILLE, Va., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- As a reminder to used car shoppers everywhere, Carfax continues to offer a free Flood Check (http://www.carfax.com/flood) to help avoid unknowingly buying a flood-damaged car. Given the extent of the flooding in the Midwest and the number of communities affected, hundreds of thousands of cars may have been submerged in floodwater. Consumers should expect more than half of these waterlogged wrecks to wind up on the used car market in all areas of the country, based on similar past events.

Carfax advises anyone shopping for a used car to use the free Flood Check and have a mechanic or body shop thoroughly inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. Carfax communications director Larry Gamache is available for interview to discuss the dangers of flooded vehicles and offer tips for avoiding the purchase of unsafe vehicles.

To schedule an interview, contact Christopher Basso of Carfax, 703-934-2664.
