NADA Used Car Guide adds APU values to its commercial truck guide
MCLEAN, Va. -- NADA Used Car Guide has enhanced its ATD/NADA Official Commercial Truck Guide by adding a

comprehensive set of values for Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), beginning with the December 2008 edition. The

new APU values are designed to provide dealers, finance companies, insurance companies, fleets and other

industry professionals with timely pricing information on an increasingly popular component of the used

truck market.

'Fuel price volatility and government regulations have made APUs hot items,' says Chris Visser, editor of

the Commercial Truck Guide. 'Our sales data clearly suggests that APUs contribute to the value of a used

truck.

'ATD (American Truck Dealers) recognizes that dealers need reliable, market-reflective information on APU

values in today’s sales environment to enhance their business performance,” said Gary Gibson, ATD chairman

and owner of Tri-State Sterling Trucks, in Cincinnati, Ohio. “Valuing APUs in the Commercial Truck Guide is

one more way we're adding value for our members.”
