Orange County new vehicle sales mostly held steady in February, slipping a mere 0.3 percent in yet another sign the hot auto industry is at a plateau. Auto sales peaked in 2015 with a 8.7 percent gain overall compared with 2014, then leveled off in 2016 after six years of growth. Last year, local dealerships reported a sales decline of less than 1 percent, according to the Orange County Automobile Dealers Association, which tracks new vehicle registrations. In January, post-holiday auto sales in the county decreased 4.2 percent. The group expects 2017 auto sale numbers to be similar...
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...

Optimists' hopes were undimmed: The timing of Lunar New Ye...
In February 2017, Ford’s F-Series truck US sales stood at 65,956 units with a YoY increase of ~9%. During the month, the strong demand for the newly launched F-Series Super Duty trucks continued in the company’s Retail segment. As a result, February 2017 was the best month for the company’s F-Series sales in the last 13 years. This strength was consistent with the robust retail sales performance of F-Series trucks in January 2017. In January 2016, the company sold 57,995 units of F-Series trucks, which was 13% higher on a YoY basis. These strengthening sales of Fo...
Since Donald Trump has become the new U.S. president he has been vowing to turn American trade policy toward a more protectionist stance. That includes imposing a 35 percent tariff on imported cars, could have far-reaching consequences for European automakers. European auto executives who gathered here last week for the annual Geneva auto show have found themselves having to deal unexpectedly with trade issues in markets, including Britain and the United States, that just a year ago seemed steady. Many European automakers produce and even export cars from the United States and Mexic...
