A Huge Month in Vehicle Sales
Posted on: 11/05/2015
The huge October increase in sales can easily be tracked to trucks. Total cars retailed in October reached 620,733 for a 4.1% increase over October 2014 sales of 596,231.
Truck sales for the month reached 834,783 for an increase of 21.9% from the 685,082 sold in October 2014.
Several factors should be considered in the huge surge. For instance, GM reported that its average transaction price dropped in October by about $130 dollars from October 2014, to $34,600. Incentive from GM also increased to $4,400 per vehicle on average from close to $4,270 in October 2014.
Another success story is Toyota. Toyota Motor Sales had a record month of 204,045 units sold. That number was the first time Toyota retailed over 200,000 in October.
