WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. -

When looking at the spreadsheet of October certified pre-owned results provided by Autodata Corp., one thing that’s noticeable is the wealth of double-digit-percentage increases in the column comparing individual brands’ sales against year-ago results.

In fact, all but three of the 12 domestic brands listed in the firm’s data set showed double-digit improvement in CPO sales.

Looking at imports, less than a handful of the roughly two dozen Asian and European brands included in Autodata’s set of confirmed results saw their sales dip year-over-year in October. The rest increased their sales, most by double-digit percentages.
