Comment on A CarFax for Used PCs; Hewlett Packard wants to give old laptops new lifeparent

Comments

Cars in the US are cheaper so in some countries they are shipped, fixed, and sold. People pay to see the CarFax to see how bad the accident was. There's a big market for it outside the U.S. surprisingly. U.S. cars can be easily identified by their yellow indicator lights. You'll see the term "clean CarFax" a lot in online dealerships outside the U.S. Although I feel for PCs it's a bit silly

U.S. cars can be easily identified by their yellow indicator lights.

Surely you mean lack of?

One thing thats been notable with cars in North America is the dual use brake and indicators lights.

What about the front-side indicators? I was referring to those.

Because yellow front indicators is definitely not limited to North America.

Well it's one "indicator" that the car is a US one.
