Record Sales until they ran out of cars... +11.2% Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Fri, 4 Nov 2005 16:29:37 In Reply to: Saab sales down 60% over last year, Topher, Fri, 4 Nov 2005 14:57:03 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Through September, Saab was on another record setting pace for annual sales up 11.2% and in October (June and July were record sales months for the history of the company), they sold 0 'units' (cars, in other words) of some models, not because of a lack of interest, but rather because they were out of 2005's and 2006's hadn't arrived yet. The biggest complaint I hear these days from the dealers I talk to is the lack of cars to sell and even when some dealers get a SportCombi, it's not for sale yet as it's the model to show off to the area (Southern Cali for example).
October doesn't mean anything other than Saab needs to get their dealers stocked asap and postings like this should be put in proper context.
