MT. ARLINGTON, NJ - The International Automotive Remarketers Alliance (IARA) congratulates Randy Gold, data acquisition manager for CARFAX, for becoming the newest recipient of the certified automotive remarketer (CAR) designation. 

For the past five years, Gold has worked for CARFAX in the remarketing data area with OEMs, rental, and fleet management companies, as well as auction business partners. Prior to coming to CARFAX, he held various positions at Ford Motor Company, where he had extensive experience in the Company’s fleet, rental, remarketing, and CPO business activities.

"Based on my experience, I had a good understanding of the remarketing industry from an OEM and captive finance perspective. This course increased my understanding of the range of remarketing challenges and issues facing a wider spectrum of different types of consignors, challenges faced by auctions, and other remarketing service providers," according to Gold. "It also focused on benchmarks/assessment tools to evaluate operations; and provided useful 'best practice' ideas  to improve performance."

Gold continued, "The coursework is professionally written and does a great job of promoting  professional excellence  and high ethical standards. I would encourage any remarketer to pursue this designation."
