Cars sales figures for October 2018
Car Market Overview for October
The MyVehicle.ie Nationwide Market Overview report for the month of October 2018 shows that of the top ten used cars sold by Independent car dealers in Ireland, the number one best selling car was the Volkswagen Passat.
When it came to Franchise dealers, of the top-ten used cars sold, the number one spot again went to the Hyundai Tucson with the Nissan Qashqai coming in second and the Volkswagen Golf again coming in the third position like September.
As MyVehicle.ie has shown many times before in previous market overview reports, the best-selling cars in the Republic of Ireland from Franchise and Independent dealers are all diesel fuel cars.
Another telling fact of the statistics is that of the quickest selling cars from Independent dealers was the Volkswagen Golf (Petrol) and the quickest selling car from franchised dealers for the month of October was the Renault Clio (Petrol)
Seven out of the top ten cars sold privately in October were also diesels, with eight out of the top ten overall valued cars also being diesels.
Interestingly, the top car valued overall during the month of October 2018 was a Hybrid Toyota Yaris. The Toyota Yaris Hybrid was also the second-highest quickest selling car by Franchise dealers during the same period.
