Graham Hill, Car Finance Expert, Announces Surge In New Car Sales In March

Thursday, 22. April 2010

Sales of new cars surged by 19% last month over sales for March last year according to latest figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It sounds like a large increase but the sales last year were abysmal but hey we’ll take any glint of light that indicates things are moving in the right direction. Having said that, the sales in March were the highest monthly sales for 2 years, so it’s a good sign. The big winner in march was the fleet/business sector, which was always going to be the case as manufacturers switched attention onto fleet and business vehicles following the end of the retail based scrappage scheme.
