J.D. Power has released a benchmarking product that was designed as an informational resource for vehicle manufacturers, captive finance companies and lenders that it's calling J.D. Power Residual Values.
The product will leverage data gathered from J.D. Power’s Power Information Network, the J.D. Power / National Auto Auction Association AuctionNet service, and from proprietary J.D. Power Voice of Customer data. Respectively, the Power Information Network represents more than 40% of franchised dealer retail sales transactions in America and AuctionNet service accounts for more than 80% of automotive auction transactions.

Data gathered from J.D. Power’s Initial Quality Study; Vehicle Dependability Study, Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study; and Auto Avoider Study will also complement the product.
“We are launching this capability at a particularly important time for the industry as it deals with record levels of lease origination in an environment of declining used vehicle prices. Automakers — and their lenders — are looking for ways to accurately forecast and enhance the residual value of their vehicles because of its direct impact on both sales and profitability,” said Deirdre Borrego, senior vice president of data and analytics at J.D. Power.
Under Borrego’s leadership, the newly created Data and Analytics Division of J.D. Power will also include J.D. Power Valuation Services, a service which was formerly known as NADA Used Car Guide. Under the new name, J.D. Power Valuation Services will produce, manage and distribute residuals and related services, according to the company.
“Manufacturers rely on J.D. Power insights in so many other areas of their business, so it makes a lot of sense to support them in such a critically important function that has long-term financial implications,” said Jonathan Banks, vice president of vehicle valuation and analytics at J.D. Power. “What OEMs and captives will find unique is the transparency of the valuation. Our product will provide clients with a viable third-party source as a challenger model to current processes, with an opportunity to expand into more predictive and prescriptive analytical solutions.”
Mike Stanton, vice president of valuation services, will lead the team in McLean, Va., as it continues to market NADA Values until it fully transitions to the J.D. Power brand.
The 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing convened with a mandate to involve a new constituency — fleet managers — and an updated mission to demonstrate unrealized value in de-fleeted vehicles.
From a Wall Street analyst's take on remarketing's key players to whether fleets need their own version of Carfax, CAR 2026's afternoon roundtables will answer key operational and industry questions.
The enhanced technology allows rental car operations, dealerships, and auctions to compare a vehicle’s condition at pickup and drop-off within the same rental or loaner record.
A panel at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing will examine how resale value is created across the vehicle lifecycle and which traditional remarketing practices still deliver ROI.
Smart operational and spec'ing decisions can dramatically improve both the total cost of ownership during use and the resale value when it's time to remarket day cabs.
How can vehicle-sourced performance data change the way fleets assess condition, time de-fleets, and set remarketing expectations? A seminar at the 2026 Conference of Automotive Remarketing (CAR) has answers.
