11.1 Percent Sales Rise Estimated for Chrysler in March

March is wrapping up, and even before the final sales numbers are announced, it seems that Chrysler will be celebrating a very good month.

Edmunds is estimating that Chrysler will have an 11.1 percent sales rise in March 2014 compared to March 2013, and the unit sales for Chrysler are estimated to reach 190,684. While other automakers have struggled for a 1 percent or 4 percent gain, Chrysler is one of the few automakers to get a double-digit sales percentage rise.

It is especially surprising that Chrysler has performed this month, considering that March 2014 only had 26 selling days, and March 2013 had 27 selling days.

The sales numbers for the month of March put Chrysler in close competition with Toyota who sold 207,531 units. Unlike Chrysler, however, Toyota did not have a substantial rise in sales compared to March 2013, only a 1.1 percent rise compared to Chrysler’s 11.1 percent rise.

Chrysler Sales Strong in March Thanks to Strong Truck Demand

There comes a time every month to wonder if Chrysler still has it in them to enjoy another good month of sales. It got to the point where instead of wondering how well the company had done, it was now a question of when the floor would drop out. Well, looks like March is not that month.

Thanks to a big demand for trucks, Chrysler had a great March. In fact, the US auto sales had their highest monthly total since August 2007.

Now, March tends to be a pretty good month for the auto industry. This is because people are starting to get their tax refunds back and use the extra money as a down payment. Also, the Japanese fiscal year ends in March and they tend to give out some great deals to end on a high note.

March also had many factors as to why people would be out and buying. Many businesses simply needed to replace aging models as they head into the spring time. Americans seeking unemployment fell to a five-year low in March. Not only that, but interest rates are still low while home values are starting to rise.

All of these went into making sure that Chrysler keeps their smile for the month of March.  If you're in the market for a truck, need something to shuttle the family back and forth, or a means to get to work, stop by Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge in the Queens area.  We offer top-notch customer service.  We love to say yes!  Follow us on Facebook and on Twitter to view our monthly service and parts specials.
