Car sales up in Mallorca

THE Association of Car Dealers Faconauto has reported that sales of new cars in general and high-priced cars in particular, have once again increased within the Balearics.

German cars are particularly popular with Audi, BMW and Mercedes leading the way with an increase of 51 per cent. Even Porsche saw an increase of 15 per cent although their sales only increased from 53 to 60 cars.

With the continuing fall in oil prices and a better economy generally, drivers seem quite happy to invest in the purchase of new cars, despite the drop in value as soon as they drive the first kilometre.
