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.

Car sales on the rise

Latest research claims that last month in August car sales rose up to 5% higher than they were last August. Naturally we believe this is because of the government scrappage scheme. As car sales actually keep rising this year, it holds our government in good stead to get out of this ridiculous credit crunch.

Ford is still dominating the car sales with the highest percentage made, with vauxhall as always a close second.  All the major players in the car industry are now calling for an extension to the scrappage to help benefit the car industry. Hopefully September will also have a good month, especially with the introduction of the new number plate.

Vauxhall suffer a massive loss in sales of fleet cars

Contracts for fleet cars chanage hands many times but in this case, Vauxhall have lost out big time.

A contract containing around 600 fleet cars has moved from Vauxhall to Hyundai. The contract is a driving school so the students will naturally be taking their lessons and tests in the small Hyundai i20 fleet car. It’s a nice looking hatchback and we feel that students would be quite comfortable driving it. Hyundai are likely to see a large increase in sales of the i20 because a high percentage of students will purchase the car they learnt in.

Vauxhall has claimed that this blow does not impact their sales and they still have many long-standing fleet customers. For Fleet car, van or truck insurance; you can visit broadsure direct at www.broadsuredirect.com/fleet-insurance.htm .
