Auto Sales End Year Over 17 Million
Written by Sandy Williams
Annual auto sales reached 17.13 million vehicles in December, according to WardsAuto, making it the third year in a row the industry has topped 17 million, but breaking the industry’s growth streak. It was the first time annual sales declined since the recession eight years ago.
Actual December sales were reported as 1.596 million units by WardsAuto. Truck sales took 69 percent of the market in December, and nearly two-thirds of the year’s total sales.
