New Car Sales in South Africa for October 2014

The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (NAAMSA) reports strong gains in major sectors when compared to the same period last year.

Here is a new car sales summary for the month of October 2014.

New Car Sales Outlook

NAAMSA advises a cautious outlook for the remainder of 2014 going into 2015. Slow economic growth, past interest rate hikes and above inflationary new car price increases would create a tough trading environment. NAAMSA predicts similar new car sales in 2014 to that experienced in 2013. Export numbers are expected to improve for the remainder of the year and into 2015.
