ATLANTA– AutoTrader.com has formed a strategic relationship with MSN Autos that makes AutoTrader.com the exclusive provider of new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicle listings on MSN Autos. The alliance provides users of MSN Autos (www.autos.msn.com) with access to AutoTrader.com’s more than 3 million dealer and private seller vehicle listings and creates one of the most comprehensive automotive networks on the Internet.

As the two companies combine efforts, consumers who visit MSN Autos now have the ability to search AutoTrader.com’s new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicle inventory, while taking advantage of the best features both sites have to offer, such as MyAutoTrader.com — a popular saved search and personal shopping cart function — and the new-car reviews from award-winning automotive journalists on MSN Autos.

For the first time, through AutoTrader.com’s inventory, MSN Autos visitors will have access to new-vehicle listings. In addition, AutoTrader.com will power the certified pre-owned information section on MSN Autos, providing consumers the opportunity to compare each respective manufacturer’s certified program in a side-by-side comparison.

Also under the newly-formed relationship, MSN Autos will provide AutoTrader.com with vehicle reviews, industry articles, and video footage from the country’s premier auto shows. The featured content will be located within AutoTrader.com’s “Research & Compare” section, accessed from the site’s homepage.
