New vs Used Car Sales

Yesterday i stopped to see the general manager of one of our local auto dealers here in Pittsburgh that carries Caddilac, Buick, and Pontiac. I was making a sales call to him seeing if he wanted us to come out and replace the streamers and flags he had bought from us last year. Once we finalized what he needed me to supply him with i asked him how are sales going this year. His answer suprised me when he said they have been very good through January and Febuary, he did mention they were not moving many new cars but selling a ton of used ones. From what i have been reading in the papers and seeing on the news i was suprised to hear he was selling any cars at all. I am glad that our local dealers seem to be doing better than the media would Lead us to believe. How about the dealers reading this around the country, how are your sales, and are you moving mostly new or used cars? Please leave a comment and let us know.
