Honda Canada Selects CarProof Vehicle History Reports for Certified Pre-owned and Off-lease Vehicles

    LONDON, ON, Nov. 5 /CNW/ - Honda Canada has made a CarProof vehicle
history report an integral part of their Honda and Acura used vehicle
programs.
    A CarProof report is required for certification under both the Honda
Certified Used Vehicle Program and the Acura pre-owned "Certified Performance"
program. A CarProof report is also required for all Honda and Acura off-lease
vehicles (vehicles that have been returned at the end of their lease period).
    With detailed multi-point inspections, comprehensive warranties, exchange
privileges, roadside assistance and more, the Honda and Acura certified
pre-owned programs are already among the best programs available in the
marketplace today. The addition of a CarProof report builds upon this
foundation and further enhances the confidence the buyer feels when purchasing
a certified pre-owned Honda or Acura.
    Consumers can view the vehicles' CarProof reports by going to the
"Certified Used" section of the Honda Canada website or the "Pre-Owned"
section of the Acura Canada website and searching for the model of their
choice.
    Honda Canada Finance Inc. is using the CarProof report as the tool that
enables dealers to pre-screen and pre-qualify Honda and Acura off-lease
vehicles prior to offering them for sale. This dedication to disclosure and
due diligence demonstrates the highest commitment to quality and integrity for
the used car buyer.
    "We want to provide buyers of our certified used Honda and Acura vehicles
peace of mind, knowing the full history of the vehicle," said Arch Wilcox,
vice president of Auto Sales, Honda Canada Inc.
    "Our mission at CarProof is to bring greater transparency into the used
car market by providing both the consumer and the automotive industry with the
tool that enables due diligence and full disclosure," said Paul Antony,
president of CarProof. "We are very pleased by the fact that world-class
manufacturers like Honda and Acura are using CarProof to further enhance their
CPO programs and screen their off-lease vehicles."
