N.A.D.A. Used Vehicle Values IntegratedFARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- RouteOne LLC and the N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide(R) Company (N.A.D.A.) announced today that they have launched RouteOne's autoValue(TM) product integrated with values from the N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide.
autoValue will allow dealers to precisely and quickly obtain N.A.D.A. values during RouteOne's online credit application process. The information available to subscribing dealers and lenders will include N.A.D.A. base values, as well as adjustments for mileage and optional accessories. The dealer can value a vehicle independently using the online autoValue tool, and then effortlessly transfer all the information about the vehicle and its value to a RouteOne credit application. autoValue eliminates the need for dealers to manually find, calculate and then enter the information in the credit application. It will allow dealers and lenders to use the industry leading N.A.D.A. values on the RouteOne platform in order to 'speak the same language' when valuing trade-in vehicles and used car collateral.

"We continue to add value to the RouteOne platform," said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. "Our goal is to help our dealer and finance source customers process and fund applications as quickly and easily as possible. Our partnership with N.A.D.A. allows us to provide a seamless valuation tool in the dealership process where it adds the most value. And our subscription model will not require long-term commitments -- it will be focused on dealer choice, like everything we do."

"We are very pleased to be an integral component of the RouteOne autoValue application," said James Gibson, N.A.D.A. Business Development Manager. "This is an excellent opportunity to bring greater efficiency to the vehicle valuation process for our dealer and lender clients."

The autoValue tool is available now to all dealers, who will be offered a free thirty-day trial to familiarize themselves with the product. Dealers may subscribe on a monthly basis -- no long-term commitments will be required.
