2004 - Another Great Year For Car Sales
Published: 9th January 2005
2,567,269 units were sold in 2004, all-but matching 2003’s record total of 2,579,050.*
Commenting on the figures, Alan Pulham, franchised dealer director for the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) commented: ‘UK car dealers have delivered exceptional value and retail performance to the consumer in 2004.
‘Sales have reached levels virtually as high as 2003’s record, and this is a further indication of the very high standard of service being provided to the British consumer.’
He added: ‘With free serving, insurance, and extended warranties now commonplace, consumers know that when they buy a car they are getting a great deal. With the high expectations of the UK motoring public being more than met by UK dealers, 2005 looks set to be another great year.’
