July Sales Expected to Get the Second Half of 2016 off to a Fast Start, Forecasts Edmunds.com
“Last year’s record-setting sales performance was powered primarily by a strong second half, and July sales suggest that 2016 is poised to play out in the same way,” says Edmunds.com Executive Director of Industry Analysis Jessica Caldwell. “With low interest rates and a leasing market that’s stronger than ever, automakers have a great opportunity to build on last year’s burst of summer sales. The growth might not be as significant as in recent years, but it’s still growth nonetheless.”
SALES VOLUME FORECAST, BY MANUFACTURER
Edmunds.com estimates that retail SAAR will come in at 15.3 million vehicles in July 2016, with fleet transactions accounting for 14.1 percent of total sales. An estimated 3.4 million used cars will be sold in July 2016, for a SAAR of 38.7 million (compared to 3.2 million – or a SAAR of 38.7 million – used car sales in June 2016).
