On a national basis, new car registrations for August were up 36.7 per cent (8,157) when compared to August 2021 (5,966) but registrations ย for the year to date are down 1.2 per cent (95,183) on the same period last year (96,296) and are 14 per cent behind (110,527) pre-Covid levels.
“While new car sales showed some improvement during August, year to date sales are still marginally behind last year and 14 per cent behind pre-Covid 2019 levels, with supply chain issues still hampering both the new and used car markets,” said SIMI Director General Brian Cooke.
