Updated: Oct 10, 2022

F&I Tools Key Points

2022 US 3rd quarter car sales were down 3% compared to last year.

GM and Ford posted the best gains, up 16% in US sales volume, helped by a large increase in fleet sales to commercial customers buying trucks and vans in quarter 3.

Car sales volume is dwindling due to global economics, but profits and demand for cars remain strong, and the US automotive industry is well positioned for prosperity when global economies rebalance.
