MANHEIM AUCTIONS INTRODUCE CARPROOF DEALER LANES

LONDON, ON, Nov. 17 /CNW/ - CarProof® Vehicle History Reports has been the sole supplier of vehicle history reports for Manheim Canada since 2007. Manheim Montréal and Manheim Toronto have announced the creation of CarProof Dealer Lanes with every vehicle being accompanied by a CarProof CLAIMS vehicle history report. This new offering will provide buying dealers in the CarProof Dealer Lanes, both in lane and online, with added confidence instilling credibility in the vehicle, the seller and the auction.

"CarProof is very pleased to work with both Manheim Toronto and Manheim Montréal locations as they launch their CarProof-Dealer Lanes on December 9 and December 7 respectively. We recognize this alignment as an opportunity to solidify our relationships with both Manheim and our dealers," stated Marty Meadows, CarProof VP of Dealer Sales. Mr. Meadows continued, "We'd like to thank Manheim for their commitment to full disclosure in the used vehicle auction arena and for bringing our industry one step closer to full transparency."

With the successful launch of the CarProof Kiosk at Manheim Toronto in February of 2008, the addition of a CarProof Dealer Lane only solidifies Manheim Toronto's commitment to its dealers. Providing this level of transactional transparency brings a level of service and peace-of-mind to auction that is swiftly becoming expected in the industry today.

Manheim Montréal is the first location in the Province of Québec to introduce a CarProof Dealer Lane. Yvan St-Jean, General Manager of Manheim Montréal stated, "We are proud to be setting the bar for used vehicle sales in Québec. We would like to thank CarProof for partnering with us, bringing full disclosure to our auction, our Québec consignors and our purchasing dealers."
