What AutoTrader does
Connect CARF with AutoTrader to keep your inventory listings accurate, consistent, and up to date.
CARF prepares and sends your vehicle inventory directly to AutoTrader, helping ensure pricing, vehicle details, photos, descriptions, and listing data stay current. Inventory updates made in CARF are reflected through the feed, reducing duplicate work and improving the overall quality and presentation of your listings on AutoTrader.

Manage your inventory once in CARF and let the AutoTrader connection handle the distribution.
- Automatically send eligible inventory to AutoTrader.
- Push pricing, photos, descriptions, vehicle details and status updates from CARF.
- Update multiple listings without manually re-entering the same information.

Connect once. CARF handles the feed.
Request the AutoTrader connection directly from Dealer Connections inside CARF.
Once enabled, CARF prepares your inventory data in the required feed format and sends updates to AutoTrader automatically.
Your dealership’s API Access and Data Sharing Agreement covers the connections you choose to activate, so you don’t need a separate agreement every time you add another supported marketplace.
Connected to the rest of your inventory workflow
Your CARF inventory powers more than just listings. Vehicle data can flow into your website, marketplace connections, photos, promotions, deals, bills of sale, work orders, and other dealership tools — all from one central stock record.
