CarsDirect Adds Carfax Vehicle History Reports
CarsDirect announced it has added Carfax Vehicle History Reports to its used-car listings at Carsdirect.com and Sellmycar.com.
LAS VEGAS — CarsDirect announced it has added Carfax Vehicle History Reports to its used-car listings at Carsdirect.com and Sellmycar.com.
“CarsDirect has always carefully evaluated new features to ensure that all innovations we make are truly mutually beneficial to both consumers and to our dealer partners,” said Curt Cozadd, vice president of marketing at CarsDirect. “The addition of free Carfax Vehicle History Reports on our used listings is a perfect example of such a feature. Consumers benefit from the added peace of mind a vehicle history report provides, while dealers benefit from potentially faster sales from informed buyers.”
CarsDirect automatically links Carfax Reports dealers’ inventory to the search results and vehicle details pages on carsdirect.com and sellmycar.com, according to the company. Other CarsDirect improvements include identifying Carfax 1-Owner cars, premium vehicles that have had only one owner and may be worth more to buyers.
“Carfax and CarsDirect are meeting the needs of our customers,” said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. “Consumers and dealers alike want Carfax Reports included with vehicles listed online. This decisive choice by CarsDirect helps online shoppers buy with greater confidence and dealers sell cars faster.”
