Even though last year marked one of the ugliest recalls for General Motors — as well as one of the biggest ever for the industry — demand for GM vehicles remains strong as supply dwindles.

According to the February installation of AutoTrader.com’s scarcity reports provided to Auto Remarketing, even though GM recalled 5.88 million vehicles for faulty ignition switches last year, it seems GM buyers have “shrugged off the bad news.”

Michelle Krebs, senior analyst at AutoTrader, pointed out that just last year, consumers bought 5 percent more new GM vehicles in 2014 than they did in 2013.

And the same trend is popping up in the used-car market, especially for CPO vehicles.

Krebs said a number of GM vehicles, primarily Chevrolet models, which were hit hardest by the ignition switch recalls, are in “high demand and low supply.”

Nationally, four Chevrolet models made the cut for the top 10 list of most scarce CPO vehicles.

On the certified side of the market, the Cadillac Escalade EXT sport utility came in as the No. 2 scarcest CPO vehicle in the country in February.

And the Chevrolet SS, a low-volume vehicle, according to Krebs, came in at No. 3 on the CPO national scarcity list.

The CPO Chevrolet Caprice, a model which is no longer manufactured, came in at No. 7; and CPO Chevrolet Corvette rounded out the top 10.

Krebs pointed out the CPO Corvette “is perennially in high demand and low supply,” coming in as the No. 1 scarcest certified vehicle in Washington D.C.; No. 2 in Houston; No. 4 in Los Angeles and Dallas-Fort Worth; and No. 8 in New York.

Highlighting the popular Chevrolet truck lineup, in particular, Krebs said these units are “in high demand and low supply.”

On the smaller end of the spectrum, the CPO Chevrolet Colorado is the scarcest certified vehicle in Boston and Philadelphia, and came in at No. 8 in Los Angeles.

“Southern California is the biggest market for small pickup trucks,” said Krebs. “The sibling CPO GMC Canyon is No. 1 in Atlanta for high demand/low supply.”

Some of Chevy’s larger trucks are gaining steam, as well, as the CPO Chevrolet Silverado ranked the No. 5 scarcest certified vehicle in Boston. And the CPO GMC Sierra versions were No. 5 in Atlanta and Dallas-Ft Worth.
