ARLINGTON, Texas, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) is expanding its long-standing partnership with Carfax to include the association's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program. Now, NIADA CPO vehicles come with a Carfax Vehicle History Report provided free to buyers from subscribing dealers and are listed for sale on Carfax Used Car Listings.

"Our dealers have spoken loud and clear that they want Carfax for our Certified Pre-Owned program," NIADA senior vice president of member services Scott Lilja said. "Carfax Reports add another level of confidence for buyers purchasing NIADA Certified vehicles. Plus, our dealers' certified inventory gets in front of more ready-to-buy shoppers at carfax.com. We're thrilled to give our 16,000 dealer members a resource that is proven to help sell more cars faster."

NIADA joins 38 manufacturer brands that use Carfax to build more consumer confidence in their certified cars. Wherever consumers shop -- online or at an independent dealership -- they should look for the free Carfax Report on NIADA Certified vehicles.

"The demand for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles keeps growing every year," said Bill Eager, vice president of the dealer business unit at Carfax. "Carfax and NIADA are helping connect independent dealers with more confident customers that want to buy certified vehicles. With Carfax Used Car Listings, Carfax Reports and myCarfax, dealers have the tools that make it fast and easy for people to find and care for NIADA Certified vehicles."
