The suit alleges Carfax has violated several anti trust laws, among other things. It would be the largest number of dealers to ever join forces to take aim at a single entity (I'm guessing excluding NADA, which is a huge dealer lobby group.)
I honestly don't understand how they've gotten away their campaign "ask for a free Carfax report" for so long. Car faxes are NOT free, they charge very high fees to dealers that are basically forced into complying. It's something that a dealer can choose to purchase for their customer as part of doing business, but is in no way free.
It would be like if I created a dessert for distribution at restaurants. The restaurants buy the dessert from me to offer them to their customers. But then, I start advertising my dessert direct to consumers, and tell them that any restaurant that doesn't provide you with my dessert for free is a crook.
