CARY, N.C. -

As certified pre-owned sales results started to trickle in Tuesday, automakers (at least those reporting, so far) are seeing sales spike significantly from the first two months of 2014 — a trend that bodes well for continued certified market growth.

Volvo impressed last month with a 58-percent boost in CPO sales in February. Its dealers sold 1,343 certified units, up from 850 sold during February 2014. Year-to-date sales also showed an over-50 percent spike. Volvo sold 2,690 CPO vehicles through the first two months of the year, up 58.1 percent from the same period of 2014.

Mazda also reported results early Tuesday. The automaker sold 3,208 CPO vehicles last month, up 8 percent over February 2014’s total of 2,964. So far this year, Mazda has sold 6,645 certified vehicles, up a significant 13 percent over the same period of last year.

Kia reported 4,887 certified sales for the month, which was its second-best month ever. It also represented a 41.89-percent sales increase from a year ago.  Kia has sold 9,494 certified vehicles so far this year, which beats year-ago figures by 47.8 percent. 

And over at Hyundai, the automaker announced its best February ever with 7,128 CPO units sold. This is up 4.8 percent from the 6,804 sold in February 2014. Year-to-date, the automaker has sold 14,496 certified vehicles, up 4.6 percent from the same period last year.

Volkswagen experienced double-digit percentage boosts in certified sales last month.

The automaker sold 7,176 CPO vehicles in February, up 8.3 percent from the 6,628 sold during the same month of 2014.

So far this year, VW has sold 14,851 certified vehicles in the U.S., up 12.6 percent from the same period last year.

VW also pointed out February marked the 12th consecutive month the automaker has sold over 7,000 CPO units.

 VW and Volvo weren't the only european brands to experience CPO sales increases this past month.

Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales in the U.S. also jumped by double digits. In February, Porsche sold 953 certified used vehicles in the U.S., up 13.32 percent from February 2014. So far this year, the automaker has sold 1,980 CPO vehicles, up 21.4 percent over the same period last year.

European luxury counterpart Mercedes-Benz also saw a successful month for CPO.

Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned recorded February sales of 9,820, with year-to-date volumes increasing 5.4 percent over the comparable period in 2014 to 19,276, the company reported.

At BMW, sales increased slightly in the pre-owned department. Last month, BMW sold 15,157 used vehicles, a number which includes CPO sales, as well. This marked a year-over-year increase of 1.3 percent.

Paul Rohovsky, certified pre-owned manager at Lexus, said: “Lexus CPO continues on a record sales pace as we have developed new resources and programs to support our dealers to achieve new record sales results.”

The most recently completed month was a February record, he said, extending Lexus’ streak of consecutive monthly CPO sales records to seven. Each month since August has been a record for that particular month.

“Lexus is committed to the CPO program and supporting our dealers pre-owned operations and we anticipate another record year in 2015,” Rohovsky added.
