US auto sales on track for best year ever

Tuesday, December 15, 2015

YOUNGSTOWN — Greg Greenwood of Greenwood Chevrolet is a little surprised to see the continued growth of U.S. auto sales.

He remembers the recession when sales were way down – at 10.4 million in 2009, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Since then, however, sales have grown an average of a million a year.

Now, sales are expected to hit 17.4 million, if not more, which would break the record of 17.35 million in 2000.

“Auto sales were red hot” this year, Greenwood said.

Sales for Greenwood have been good, but the Austintown dealership has had better years. Overall, Greenwood is pleased with his sales.
