LOTS OF CARS WERE SOLD IN NEW MEXICO LAST YEAR. NATIONALLY, NUMBERS WERE AT RECORD HIGHS…AND CHARLES HENSON, PRESIDENT OF THE NEW MEXICO AUTOMOTIVE DEALERS ASSOCIATION, SAYS SALES HERE MAY HAVE ALSO SET RECORDS, ALTHOUGH THE FINAL NUMBERS AREN’T IN YET.
HENSON TELLS 770 KKOB LARGER VEHICLES WERE BIG SELLERS, DUE TO FALLING GAS PRICES. HE SAYS SUVS ARE ALWAYS ON THE UPSWING WHEN GAS PRICES ARE DOWN. HENSON SAYS LOW INTEREST RATES ALSO HELPED SALES.
AND HE SAYS, AS ALWAYS, SALES WERE LED BY THE HALF-TON PICKUP.
