(Toronto) Sales of light motor vehicles rose 4.1% in November, compared to the same month last year, the specialized firm DesRosiers Automotive Consultants indicated on Friday.
DAC estimates that 114,966 vehicles were sold last month, compared to 110,448 vehicles sold in November 2021.
However, DesRosiers pointed out, 143,315 light motor vehicles had been sold in November 2019, before the pandemic hit.
Vehicle sales are 1.38 million year-to-date, DAC managing partner Andrew King said, suggesting sales will fall below the 1 mark. .5 million vehicles for the whole of 2022.
If that happened, it would be the first time since 2009 that the market has not reached this threshold.
