UK car sales up for the first time in 2009

For the first time in 2009, the monthly car sales figures are up on the previous year. In July there was a 2 percent increase compared to figures for July last year. This is widely acknowledged to be a direct result of the governments vehicle scrappage scheme; which has made a more buoyant market for car dealers.

However within the coming months the money for the scrappage scheme is expected to run out. The motor trade is extremely keen for the scheme to continue, as this has provided much needed relief in the industry. The June figures were the smallest fall of the year, now with the increase in July it is hoped that a continue of the scheme will see the industry return to a healthier position.
