Now that startups have tried and failed to beat the car salesman, many are taking a different route: catering to them. There are many car web-sites who stumbled in their attempts to bring more Amazon-like e-commerce to car shopping, a new wave of auto finance upstarts has emerged. Rather than fight a dispersed and politically-connected dealer industry, they’re bringing the country’s 17,000 new-car dealers into the digital age, meaning consumers aren’t going to be bypassing the dealership to buy new rides anytime soon. The market is so big that there’s nothing...
Sales of new vehicles are expected to tick up this year, because of steady interest rates and firmer brand. There had been three years of declines in auto sales. Before that, we had a number of very good years didn’t we, so are things just leveling off? The answer is yes. We had a couple of good years post the recession 2008-09. We had five or six years of consecutive growth and the last few years have seen the vehicle sales decline, mainly as a result of the depreciation of the brand. What we’ve seen is customer demand has not reduced at all over the course of the last t...
This March will be launched new 17 registration plates in the new car market-which means rich pickings for buyers in the used car sector. With the way that many cars are financed these days over a three year term, tens of thousands of models from 2014 will be coming back for specialist dealers to buy for their customers. To keep within the conditions of the finance package these cars will have been serviced every year and will be within the agreed mileage limit. All of which means that now is an excellent time to think about changing your current vehicle for a newer one. March is a good t...
Electric car sales in the U.S. continued their strong showing in February, and that exactly means that despite rumors we’re having another monthly record. The 12,049 plug-ins sold last month translate to roughly a growth rate of 55 percent and plug-ins now stand at a 0.90 percent market share. The big challenge, though, will be March, since that month in 2016 saw nearly 14,000 sales. The best-selling model so far this year has been the Chevrolet Volt, but a maturing market with a growing number of competitors means the differences between the leaders is pretty small. GM ...
Tesla doesn’t even surprise us anymore for showing growth year by year. We weer expecting that the automaker will show steadily growth in 2016, and so it did. Nearly 80,000 Tesla cars were bought by consumers in 2016. Tesla's sales improvements have taken place since it launched its first designed-from-scratch Model S sedan in 2012. In 2015, the Model X SUV was added to the lineup, and the Model S has been progressively improved over the past four years, with the top-end P100D capable of outrunning the fastest, most exotic hypercars in a 0-60 mph sprint. But during the ti...
