CENTREVILLE, Va., Aug. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Honda
Motor Co., Inc. has selected Carfax as a provider of vehicle
history information for the Honda and Acura Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicle programs. For the last 10 years, Carfax® Vehicle History
Reports™ have been a key component in the Honda and Acura

Acura's stringent program guidelines to be certified.
"We've continued to build two highly successful Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicle programs over the last decade with the help of
Carfax," said Brian Butts, Manager –
Auto Remarketing at American Honda Motor Co. "Carfax Reports, along
with Honda and Acura's stringent certification procedures, help to
ensure only the best Honda and Acura vehicles become
certified."
In 2013, Honda and Acura dealers sold over 246,000 and 41,000
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles respectively. Wherever car buyers shop
– including online at Carfax.com, Certified.Honda.com,
Acura.com/CertifiedPreOwned.aspx and other popular shopping sites –
they'll still get free Carfax Reports from dealers who chose to run
them for Certified Honda and Acura vehicles.
"What makes Certified Pre-Owned cars a great value are the
program benefits," said Steve
Waersch, general manager at Pohanka Acura. "Our Certified
Honda and Acura vehicles come with two things our customers want –
a Carfax Report and a thorough inspection. In fact, we make sure
our on-the-lot and online shoppers get a free Carfax Report for
every single car in our inventory. It builds their confidence and
