Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The carrying amount of goodwill was approximately $237.6 million and $214.0 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying amount of goodwill for our franchised dealership reporting unit was approximately $158.1 million and $147.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The carrying amount of goodwill for our EchoPark reporting unit was approximately $79.5 million and $66.7 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The total carrying amount of goodwill is net of accumulated impairment losses of approximately $1.1 billion as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The carrying amount of indefinite lived franchise assets was approximately $77.5 million and $64.3 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Pursuant to the applicable accounting pronouncements, we were required to evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets at the end of the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and market value. Based on this evaluation, we determined the carrying value of our franchised dealership reporting unit goodwill was greater than the fair value of the reporting unit. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $268.0 million and a corresponding income tax benefit of $55.8 million to reduce the carrying value to fair value as of March 31, 2020. We did not record any impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
