SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — IHS Inc. has renewed its long-standing relationship with the NADA Used Car Guide, a provider of vehicle valuation products, services and information to businesses throughout the United States and worldwide.

“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, North American sales at IHS Automotive. “We are excited to expand our relationship with the NADA and look forward to working with the NADA team in developing additional solutions for the industry.”

IHS, 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.

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