WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. -

This is how good October was for the certified pre-owned business. For just the fifth time in history, the industry moved more than 200,000 certified vehicles in a single month, Autodata Corp said in a sales recap Wednesday.

The 202,409 CPO sales for the month marked a 13.8-percent year-over-year increase and a 7.5-percent hike from September, the firm said.

Not to mention, there were best-ever CPO sales months reported by Chrysler and Subaru. General Motors, meanwhile, didn’t reach that mark but did record its best CPO outing in five years, Autodata indicated.

For the year, certified sales are already knocking on the door of 2 million units through just 10 months, as year-to-date sales have reached 1.95 million. This marks a 10.3-percent improvement over the year-ago time frame, Autodata said.
