Rise in Car sales this August!
Sept 2008
Arnold Clark, the UK's largest independent motor dealer, has announced that used car sales have increased and new car sales have remained stable this August. The motoring giant saw used car sales climb 3.2%, whilst new cars managed to hold steady despite the tough economic climate.
The company attribute the increase to the fact that they are unique to the market place, by reducing over heads and focusing on meeting the demands of the consumers, who are seeking price cuts, low finance and more economical cars.
Sir Arnold Clark says that the reason behind this increase is because his company's ethos and strategy has always been to deliver real value for money and excellent customer service. He attributes the increase, this August, to the company's unbeatable prices and finance offers that have been lowered due to the economic climate.
Sir Arnold Clark stated, "Times are tough for families and the cost of living is on the up. We are committed to keeping motorists in their cars and on the move, and it is simple, we need to sell cars to keep our business going too. Therefore, we developed a crunch busting strategy, which we launched in August. It involved us lowering overheads and cutting prices, which we managed to do with the help of our bulk buying power, letting us offer the best deals on the market."
"We have also introduced some of the best value for money car protection products on the market. These products include Vehicle Replacement Insurance, Credit Protection Insurance, Service Plan and Autocare, all of which are designed with the customer in mind. Ensuring we protect customers from unanticipated expenses during this uncertain economic climate."
"These results show that our customers have responded to these price cuts and are still buying cars. Our cars are cheaper than last year and even 10 years ago, it is the combination of real value for money in conjunction with more economical, lower emission cars that have assisted in selling an increased volume of vehicles."
