WARREN Automobile dealers in the Mahoning Valley posted their second consecutive month of growth in March from the previous year, when the viral outbreak stunted what was setting up to be a promising year for sales.
Dealerships reported selling 6,002 cars last month, a 34 percent increase from March 2020, halfway through which restrictions to slow the spread of the virus caused consumers to stay at home rather than bargain on lots.
In March 2020, dealers in the region had sold 4,458 vehicles.
The latest data from the Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers’ Association also shows sales are up 5.6 percent in the first quarter of the year to 14,483. The rebound in March helped dealers push ahead of last year’s pace after lackluster sales in January and February a two-month stretch that saw sales fall 8.5 percent from 2020.
