Car sales off to a flying start for 2012?

After a respectable year of sales in 2010, this years sales have started even stronger, through the first ten days the market is up a staggering 37% with over 6,200 units sold during this period. Toyota have taken the awards by obtaining a 17% market share with over 1,000 sales, this was followed by ford with 11%.

Toyota’s great sales figures could be attributed to their compeditive prices, good old reliability or the 3 years free servicing with all new cars registered before the 31st of January. I would be confident other manufacturers have seen these figures and will be introducing their own attractive offers to try and get their share of the market.

These figures certainly give a strong indication of what should be a solid year for the Irish motor industry, but there is still 355 days of car sales left.

Maybe all the investment in the banks is actually paying off and making finance more available?
