What is the NADA guide?

NADA's guide to Buying and Selling Used Cars is designed to help you in your search for a used car and the best way to sell your vehicle. We have provided the most common questions we receive from clients and our responses.

How do I make sure my car is in good condition before selling it? The NADA Guide suggests that you consider the following when selling your car: How long have you had your car? Have you had any repairs done recently? If so, what was the cost of these repairs? Are there any signs that your car is not in good condition? For example, is the body or interior showing signs of wear? Are there any missing parts or accessories? Are there any problems with your car that might prevent you from reselling it? Does it have any safety issues or recalls? Has it been serviced regularly? Do you need to buy another car? How much should I charge for my car? Pricing your car requires a judgement call, which may be affected by your location, area or time of year. You will need to estimate the value of your car based on several factors, including: The type of vehicle you are selling. Age of the car. Market conditions, including whether the economy is good or bad. Your location. Your time of year. Your state's vehicle inspection regulations. What factors will affect the amount I should be asking for my car? The price of a used car depends on many factors, including: Year, model and make of the vehicle. Whether the vehicle has a salvage title or not. Is the vehicle still registered? What year, make, model and options it has. Is there a warranty on the car? How many owners it has had. Does the car have a history of safety recalls? Where has the car been kept, and for how long? Do you want to drive your car for some time after you sell it? Are there any safety issues with your car? Are there any repair problems with your car? What is the best market for selling your car? How many similar cars do you have on the market?

Is NADA the same as JD Power?

For those of you who do not know about the two-year old and more widely read automotive research and information website, www.jdpower.com (www.nda.com is the new kid on the block), a brief description: NADA is a research company based out of Washington, DC, while JD Power is based out of Dayton, OH. The two companies are run by entirely separate entities with two entirely different missions. JD Power's focus is primarily on consumer survey data and automotive satisfaction surveys, while NADA's emphasis is a combination of in-depth vehicle-specific reports, sales results, historical analyses, and comparisons. JD Power provides an overall picture, NADA provides a deep dive.

It's really hard to see one company as being so polar opposite when compared to the other. What's interesting is that they both work very hard to differentiate themselves. NADA focuses on consumers (as well as the auto industry at large) while JD Power tries to serve car dealerships by providing a tool that helps them analyze their own customer base.

NADA says that their research methodology is more than just the science of sampling. That may be true. They say that NADA data has been verified over 100 times with its own internal quality control measures, including using the original survey responses and running additional checks and quality control filters on raw data.

On the other hand, JD Power calls themselves the ultimate authority on reliability of vehicle performance. Their research, in addition to other data sources, determines how much and how fast a car or truck will break down and eventually need repairs. JD Power claims that the data is statistically verified for accuracy.

The results from the two organizations seem to suggest that they provide vastly different results. One company might find that the number one reason that new car buyers buy another manufacturer is for the brand's reputation as the safest car in the country, while the other could say that the number one reason is that buyers are really attracted to the color red. In an article on their website from January 2025, NADA President and CEO Robert Johnson writes, The consumer-oriented segmentation of the vehicle market by NADA's research shows that safety and reliability are no longer winning awards for vehicles.

Is NADA the same as Blue Book?

I read the NADA guide to used car values and it's the same as Blue Book. That is no good for me as I do my business online. Does anybody know a value site that does not list in Blue Book?

Re: NADA the same as Blue Book? Posted by MikeW on 10/19/15 at 11:05 AM. I would agree with that statement. I would also agree that NADA is a good resource as long as you are willing to put forth the time to learn it.

What this really means is that when buying a car, either online or offline, you need to understand the difference between NADA and Blue Book. Even if you are shopping for a vehicle that is listed in both, you still need to understand the difference.

The biggest difference between the two is that NADA uses what is called a "retail" approach to selling the data. NADA has different data for dealers and non-dealers, and they can also determine retail or wholesale depending on whether the data is being sold to dealers or to non-dealers.

Blue Book uses a wholesale approach. They have two types of pricing - retail and wholesale. When a dealer sells a vehicle, it is priced on a retail basis, which means that the dealership gets a mark up to cover their costs and a bit more for overhead. The retail price is often listed in the magazine that the dealer sells. When a non-dealer sells a vehicle, the dealer will usually receive a wholesale price. The dealer may get another mark up, but probably not a lot more than they would for retail sales.

It can be confusing at first, but once you get used to it, it is easy. Posted by bballer on 10/19/15 at 11:22 AM. This is the best site for this kind of thing and not just because it is one of the most reputable sites. If you do not like to be a "waste of time" then you should stay away from this site. But the truth is that it is the most convenient way to look for a car.

And yes, the information is not complete, but it is useful for your needs. When you purchase a car, you will never use all the information, but it is very useful for the purchase.
