Why is NADA so much higher than KBB?
Is NADA the same as JD Power?
Last week, I was able to attend the NADA Care Council meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to talk with other care product manufacturers and distributors about how they do business and what is important to the market. After the presentation of the agenda, the questions from the committee and a few meetings with the board members, I noticed that the two most important factors about selling a product were how it can be used and how well it works. What I mean by that is if you can't use your product, no one will buy it. If you make a product for the wrong job, it won't be accepted by the public. This is exactly why I have a difficult time making comparisons between JD Power and NADNot only are the two different, but they are different in what they sell.
There are so many parts to what the two organizations have to offer. First of all, there is the product. It seems the more things there are to choose from, the more confusion can occur. If you search for the terms top 5 or top 10 on either JD Power or NADA's website, you will notice that the lists vary in results. For example, JD Power came up with two lists where cars were listed from best to worst in the areas of customer service and care products. NADA came up with three different list of products.
On JD Power's website, JD Power says its Power Rankings are based on an independent survey conducted among consumers regarding their opinion on the following: product quality, satisfaction, return policy, value, and overall experience. The survey questions asked how many times they purchased the product in the past 12 months and if they have received a similar product in the past 12 months. On top of that, there is also a ranking based on what they actually buy.
What is the suggested list price on NADA?
If you want a used car and this is the first price you see, chances are you're looking at a price that's out of your league.
And what if I don't buy it? If you're looking for a cheaper used car that you can buy new or already own, it's pretty simple: Get a less expensive car. Or better yet, get a Kia.
That's according to auto industry veteran Steve Hanley, who penned this recent article for AutoBlog. Hanley says that he consistently buys Kia vehicles and that he owns a 2023 Kia Sportage.
The Kia brand is strong in the compact crossover segment and provides customers with a very capable and fun-to-drive vehicle, says Hanley, the former president of AutoNation Inc. And the current CEO of Hanley Motors. Kia vehicles also provide a lower-priced alternative for many customers.
Hanley suggests that when shopping for a used car, look for low-mileage models with reliable engines that have been serviced by an independent mechanic. While the majority of used cars sold in the U.SE are high-mileage wrecks, used cars with low mileage can also be reliable.
In addition to reliability, customers should also consider how a used car will fit into their budget and needs, Hanley says. A higher-priced used car that may not perform as well as a lower-priced used car that offers an economical option will be less attractive to many customers.
Hanley says that some of the best Kias are from the Optima and Sportage lineups.
Why is NADA so much higher than KBB?
Does NADA have a much higher average annual price increase? I thought it was a great deal, however that is an average for the state.
Thanks for your response, but you are mistaken. The KBB value is from what we have to pay the dealer to buy it.
The NADA value is from what we have to pay to get it from the car dealer. Why do people assume they will get a better deal buying a car from a dealer when they can take their time and shop around at many of the auctions and car consignment shops? We all shop around, we know a great deal when we see it. That is why car showrooms are going out of business. We cannot find them anymore and then the ones we can find are more and more difficult to make.
When a car "disappears" from the showroom floor, dealers have it stripped down, sold, re-stocked and on the showroom floor within 24 hours. How else are they going to make their car turn-over at record speed and have it available to new sales next week? It really isn't good for the trade-in industry, either.
As for consignment, many people have heard about the "black market" where the "vulture" car dealer buys a nice car for pennies on the dollar, offers it to a client, and then sells it to another client for a few grand (or more). Some of these clients who were desperate for a car (perhaps even used) or who would otherwise not consider buying a pre-owned one might go for it. Others will walk away if they can get a slightly better deal elsewhere, or even worse, just pay a bit more for a new model. No one I know has ever heard of a used one disappearing in this way, although it happens with many other things. This is not to say it isn't possible, but I would hope it is a rare occurrence rather than routine.
You cannot compare a used car to a new one. A used car (at least used cars in the U.) have been used as such before they were sold (and perhaps repaired and sold again) or they wouldn't be worth buying. If we did not accept these cars, nobody would be interested in buying them.
What does NADA mean for cars?
NADA and its various sub-organizations represent the largest market research organization in the auto industry and automotive trade press. Their market research includes not only the automotive industry but other related sectors like energy, housing, retail, travel, lifestyle, and much more. NADA reports on the latest trends within the automotive industry such as vehicle sales, car finance, dealer trends, and many others. Their market reports are some of the most respected ones in the auto industry and their research serves as a foundation for many companies throughout the automotive supply chain.
Who is NADA? NADA was founded by John Lohman and William Lohman in 1918. It began as a group of local car dealers who wanted to create a stronger bond between them and their customers. Initially, they held events to connect dealers with local car buyers. As car buying became more common, this group became known as the Auto Dealers Association. John Lohman passed away in 1938 and his son, William Lohman continued to grow and expand the company. William Lohman's son, Bill Jr. Took over as CEO and president in 1986, and it was during that time when they changed the name from Auto Dealers Association to National Automobile Dealers Association. In 1998, the company was sold to American Marketing Associates Inc. (AMA), a privately-held New Jersey-based research and consulting firm that now operates NADA as an independent subsidiary. AMA was later acquired by IHS Inc., a private, global information services company that is based in Reston, Virginia. IHS is one of the largest providers of automotive market research in North America.
How is NADA organized? NADA is a non-profit association which provides information to a range of different markets including the automotive industry, energy, food & beverage, manufacturing, and healthcare. There are many different entities within NADA ranging from dealers, car auctioneers, manufacturers, and consultants. The company is made up of five different organizations:
Car Market Research, Inc. They are a division of NADA focused on providing automotive dealers with data on product pricing and car values. They are headquartered in McLean, VThe Automotive News Data Center, Inc.
A division of NADA that produces data on vehicle sales trends and consumer buying habits.
