Audi keeps it crown

Car dealers in the UK still rate Audi as the most valued car franchise out there. Toyota came in a close second place which is a vast improvement on its position last year. Kia was third.

Car dealers were asked a number of questions and various statistics were taken from the answers. Overall, over 90% of car dealers were happy with their profits they received from their car sales and a high percentage are happy with the relationship they have with their car manufacturers.

This kind of information shows that car sales have definitely picked up and that uk car dealers are working closely with the car manufacturer. This bodes well for insurance companies too as providing car sales continue to rise, the number of insurance policies will rise. This could be generic car insurance or fleet car insurance.
