As the public dealer groups began reporting their second-quarter performances in full force, Sonic Automotive revealed it reached an all-time high for used sales.

The company sold a record 28,514 pre-owned units in Q2.

Pre-owned units sales per store per month were up, as well, reaching 100 units in May and 93 units for the second quarter as a whole. The company has been working toward the per-store goal reached in May for over three years, company management shared.

Jeff Dyke, Sonic's executive vice president of operations, stated, "We had a fantastic quarter, achieving another significant milestone. In the month of May, we retailed 100 pre-owned vehicles per store per month. This was a goal we set for ourselves over three years ago and we know we can continue to build on this accomplishment."

The dealer group’s soaring used sales pushed pre-owned revenue up by 12 percent or $64.9 million.

And used sales weren’t the only metric to reveal a record.

Sonic also reported all-time record quarterly fixed operations gross profit in Q2 of $159.9 million, up 8.7 million or 5.8 percent year-over-year.

Lastly, the company also announced an all-time record total gross profit of $364.9 million, up 23.1 million of 7.1 percent from the year ago period.
