NADA's Used-Vehicle Values Featured in New DealerTrack Product for Lenders

McLean, VA, August 10, 2009; NADA Used Car Guide (NADA) has been tapped to provide used-vehicle values for a newly launched product by DealerTrack, Inc. that is designed to enhance lenders' efficiency and further streamline the auto lending process.

Lenders nationwide depend on used-vehicle values from NADA to determine collateral value. Now, with DealerTrack's new "BookOut for Lenders," they can access them directly through the DealerTrack credit application system. Values are provided based on the year, make and model, as well as the condition of the vehicle. The new product also saves time and helps reduce errors by eliminating the need for a lender to manually "bookout" vehicles or "cut and paste" into an application.

"We are pleased to expand our partnership with NADA through the launch of our new BookOut for Lenders solution," said Robert Granados, vice president and general manager at DealerTrack. "In today's volatile market, lenders need the easiest possible access to accurate, up-to-date bookout values, and that's why we designed a solution that is fully integrated with the DealerTrack network."

"It's critical that vehicle values reflect the dynamics of short-term market volatility, as well as longer-term cyclical patterns, for the most complete picture," said Mike Stanton, vice president and chief operating officer, NADA Used Car Guide. "DealerTrack recognizes that NADA's values do that, and we're very pleased to team up to provide this information to lenders in an easy-to-use, automated delivery method."
