THE NUMBER of cars sold by car dealerships in September was down by over 10 per cent on the previous year, according to new industry figures.
Data released by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry shows a total of 2,487 passenger cars being sold in September – down by over 10.1 per cent on the 2,767 sold in the equivalent month last year.
The figures mark the seventh time so far this year that the monthly car sales figures are down compared to the previous year. Only in January (1.4 per cent) and July (8.43 per cent) were sales up from 12 months ago.
Volkswagen is the country’s highest-selling make, selling 9,700 units so far this year, some ahead of Toyota with Ford back on 8,273. The Ford Focus is the highest-selling model of car in Ireland this year, at 3,591 units, ahead of the Nissan Qashqai (3,256) and the Volkswagen Golf (3,237).
Hyundai has seen the largest sales increase of the biggest-selling brands, with sales up by 27.32 per cent to exactly 5,000.
The SIMI figures also show a marked increase in the number of motorists opting for low-emissions cars; sales of cars in the A band now account for over half of all cars sold.

Wouldn’t be surprised if his daughter pens a new book about all these fictions that Bertie comes up with.

We all knew politicians are in for the money..they never give a tos about anyone..
OMG as the kids say, LMFAO…..it’s not just Ahern that ruined the FF image and he can’t be used as the only scapegoat. Biffo et al. are not off the hook (or Martin).
All beneath my contempt. Horrible people . Peeeee Flynn and his daughter ,crooked through and through. and Aherne
Pffft horrible people .
And these are only the investigation into planning in Dublin.
It’s a pity that Phil Hogan cancelled the investigations into other areas. I know they cost a lot, but considering the amount that Owen O’Callaghan put up in Cork over the years (Mahon Point, Merchant’s Quay, Opera Lane), there has to be some scope for investigation there too.
Now that the writing is on the wall so to speak, why isn’t he locked up for it? I know what would happen if it was me.
have your say
