"We use Carfax Auction Quick Check through DealerTrack Inventory Optimization
to help us select the highest quality cars for our inventory and our
customers," said Corey Hawkins, Sales Manager, Sewell Lexus of Fort Worth.
"Running a Carfax Report before bidding helps us make sure we're bidding
appropriately so we don't lose money on a vehicle. Buying quality vehicles at
the correct price allows us to pass the savings on to our customers and gives
them peace of mind."

Dealers can now access both Carfax Auction Quick Check and the full Carfax
Vehicle History Reports from within DealerTrack Inventory Optimization,
powered by AAX. This information helps identify cars that would command a
premium retail price, as well as improve dealer inventory turn. For example, a
previous study by DealerTrack shows that dealers sell Carfax 1-Owner cars five
days faster and make 23% more profit compared to multiple-owner vehicles.

"We are pleased to provide dealers with additional value by integrating
'one-click' access to Carfax Auction Quick Check within our Inventory
Optimization solution," said Raj Sundaram, senior vice president, solution and
services group at DealerTrack. "This user-friendly and highly cost-effective
feature enables dealer personnel at auctions or other remote locations to more
easily get the critical information they need to make smart vehicle buying
decisions and enhance their profitability."
