SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -

Two names familiar to used-car managers are staying aligned, as IHS Automotive announced Tuesday the company has renewed its long-standing relationship with NADA Used Car Guide.

IHS Automotive, which acquired R. L. Polk & Co. last year, leverages Polk’s comprehensive set of vehicle details including make, model and series data for vehicles registered throughout the United States and Canada.

“With the integration of our complete vehicle census into NADA products and services, IHS is helping to create additional value for dealers, lenders and others in the automotive market with a thorough set of vehicle values,” said Mark Sandora, vice president of North American sales at IHS Automotive.

“We are excited to expand our relationship with NADA and look forward to working with the NADA team in developing additional solutions for the industry,” Sandora continued.

NADA Used Car Guide chief operating officer and vice president Mike Stanton added, “IHS Automotive data is part of the foundation that goes into NADA’s VIN decoding process. This enables us to provide the industry with our most comprehensive decoder and continue to produce industry-leading products and services.”
