Believe it or not, but it's been almost a year now since we here at BMW of Southampton had some sales news to send your way. What can we say; sometimes these things happen when you've got so many new cars to look forward to from one month to the next. Well, given how much we love the cars that are presently at our dealership, we thought it was about time we gave them their proper due. Because as the numbers will clearly show, these beauties have certainly earned it.
Now, in the first eight months of 2012, our favorite automaker went and sold 208,268 units in the US. It was an accomplishment if there ever was one, only to be outdone by the 233,326 units they sold in the first eight months of this year. Not only is that a 12% year-over-year sales increase, but with 30,546 vehicles sold in the States last month, you're also looking at a 35.4% year-over-year sales increase for the month of August.
As for how such a milestone was achieved, it was truly a team effort.
Used car sales were up by 19.2% in August, bumping their year-to-date numbers up to 118,259 units - an 8.5% year-over-year increase. In regards to brand sales, those numbers were up by 45.7% last month with a whopping 24,523 units sold. When it comes to specific models, the BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series were an awfully big help with August sales of 10,357 units and 4,539 units, respectively.
Like we said, the praise is well-earned. So if you'd like to see for yourself why America is crazy about our lineup, your test drive awaits you at our dealership here in Southampton, NY. After all, this many happy customers just can't be wrong.
