Despite continued issues with supply of new stock, sales were up in January over the same month in 2022.

More than 84,000 new cars hit the market, with the Ford Ranger topping the charts with over 4700 finding new homes.

More new car sales mean more trade-ins – and that’s something that many dealerships haven’t had to worry about too much over the last two years!

carsales LiveMarket is the perfect addition to your Autogate suite, allowing dealerships to monitor live listings and analyse pricing data in order to net the best result on the forecourt.

Even though new car sales are up at the moment, 2023 will bring its own set of challenges, thanks to increased cost of living pressures on everyday Aussies.

And that means that sales will be harder to come by as the year wears on.

One way to future-proof your business for the leaner months is to act now to ensure your team is ready to get on the front foot with inquiries.

Responding to a lead quickly, and in the same manner that you received it, is absolutely key to ensuring your floor stock continues to roll out the door in 2023.
