Auto sales for April 2024 are in the books, at least from the automakers that still report sales on a monthly basis. From those car companies, sales were off just slightly, less than 2% from April of 2023. However, the actual picture could be different if we could see all the automakers’ numbers. A spot check of many of our CarPro Certified Dealers showed business was actually quite good last month in new, but most reported used car sales were down from a year ago. This is to be expected with new vehicle inventories peaking, as well as increased factory incentives.
The shining star was Toyota with sales up 15%, on the strength of more hybrid vehicles being available for sale. Hyundai and Kia were off 3% and 4% respectively, and it is a little bit of a mystery as to why. Acura was off 21%, the largest decrease of the reporting car companies.
Note: There was one less selling day in April of 2024 versus April of 2023, and that one day can make a big difference in the numbers. The other big factor was a decrease in fleet sales, something applauded by the new car dealers.
