Percent Change in San Diego County New and Used Retail Registrations

USED VEHICLE MARKET REPORT

County Used Vehicle Market Declines Slightly in Early 2014Used vehicle registrations fell 2.6% thru February of this year

Below is a list of key trends in the San Diego County retail used vehicle market:

• Retail used registrations in the county declined 2.6% during the first two months of 2014 versus a year ear-lier.

• As shown on the graph below, the county new vehicle market has continued to post larger percentage gains than the used market. New vehicle registrations in-creased significantly from year-earlier levels between 2010 and 2013, while used registrations either de-clined, or increased slightly

• The sharp decline in new vehicle sales for 2009 has led to short supplies of five year old vehicles, leading to the 45.8% drop in five year old vehicle registrations.

• Used light truck registrations fell 3.9%, while cars were off 1.7%.

• Nissan Altima was the best-selling model in the county among 2 year old or newer vehicles. BMW 3-Series was the leader for 3 to 4 year old models.

• Among the top 15 selling brands, Lexus, Nissan, Hon-da, Chrysler, and BMW were the only brands to have an increase in used registrations so far this year.
