“The increase would have been higher were it not for the typical lag in measuring registrations,” according to the report called Colorado Auto Outlook, noting registrations can lag 60 days or more behind the sale. As a result, the first quarter numbers reflect sales made in November through January.
El Paso County lagged the rest of the state with a 1.8% increase in new vehicle registrations during the quarter, compared with a year earlier.

Registrations in the Denver area were up 5% during the quarter.
