It took just 35 days for J.D. Power to complete its acquisition of NADA Used Car Guide.

Officials highlighted on Wednesday the acquisition first announced on May 28 culminates an investment to bring together the advanced analytics of new- and used-vehicle retail sales and pricing data within the Power Information Network (PIN) from J.D. Power with the extensive knowledge, expertise and market presence of the NADA Used Car Guide.

“The acquisition of NADA Use Car Guide expands J.D. Power’s analytical and modeling capabilities, deepening its presence in auto finance and auto insurance, and enriching retail solutions,” said Douglas Peterson, president and chief executive officer of McGraw Hill Financial.

“J.D. Power’s impressive breadth of automotive benchmarking, and analytical and advisory services, ideally positions it to create unique market intelligence with unparalleled value by combining NADA used-car analytics with PIN's extensive new-car retail and pricing capabilities,” Peterson continued.

Now part of J.D. Power's automotive operations, NADA Used Car Guide will continue to serve its more than 100,000 subscribing clients, including retailers, financial institutions, insurers and software providers, under the day-to-day leadership of Mike Stanton, vice president and chief operating officer of the NADA Used Car Guide.

“NADA Used Car Guide, with its vehicle valuation capabilities and analytical solutions, is a perfect complement to PIN's expertise in new- and used- vehicle retail and pricing services,” said Finbarr O’Neill, president of J.D. Power.

“The guide’s high integrity and unbiased approach to used-vehicle values, analytics and insights fits perfectly with J.D. Power’s reputation as a trusted advisor to the automotive industry,” O’Neill added.

Furthermore, both J.D. Power and NADA UCG will continue to have a major presence during the series of industry-leading presentations, panel discussions and networking opportunities at Used Car Week, which is slated to run from Nov. 16 through Nov. 20 at the Phoenician in Scottsdale, Ariz.

J.D. Power’s Joe Derkos as well as Jonathan Banks and Larry Dixon of NADA UCG are on tap to return to Used Car Week, which includes the CPO Forum, the SubPrime Forum, the Re3 Conference and the National Remarketing Conference.
