Volkswagen recently announced the number of VW cars sold during the month of August and the results are exciting! With sales of more than 24,820 units, VW dealers enjoyed an increase of 11.4 percent in sales over August of 2008. Those are also the best sales figures for VW cars since December of 2005!
Part of the reason for the surge in sales was, of course, the Cash for Clunkers program. Volkswagen has a full line of fuel-efficient vehicles and stylish automobiles that attracted thousands of people wishing to trade in their older car for one of the attractive VW cars that qualified for the government rebates. The Jetta was one of the most popular VW cars during last month’s sales event with more than 12,870 units sold.
“We are extremely pleased with our August sales results,” said Mark Barnes, the CEO of Volkswagen America, Inc. “The government sponsored Cash for Clunkers program was instrumental at sparking the entire auto industry. The fact that Volkswagen currently has more vehicles that attain 25 miles per gallon or better on the highway than any other brand well positioned us to capitalize on the program.”
If you didn’t take advantage of the government’s voucher program, it’s not too late to get a good deal on the VW cars of your dreams. Check one out today!
