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.

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.

Still, pessimists were focused on what would happen in January, when the rollback of a tax discount for small-engined cars was expected to hit demand. Sure enough, when January sales figures came out, they were up just 0.8 percent from a year earlier, compared with an average 14 percent pace of growth through 2016. Optimists' hopes were undimmed: The timing of Lunar New Ye...
It’s the first time in the last 6 months when the retail sales posted are this low. This indicates a tempering of the consumer spending that’s been carrying the economy. Purchases rose 0.1 percent, after a 0.6 percent increase in the prior month that was stronger than previously reported. Just four of the 13 major retail categories saw gains in February sales. Receipts dropped at electronics and appliances stores, apparel outlets and car dealers, a sign of more moderate consumption in the first quarter. While purchases may have been restrained by a temporary slowdown in ...
