Perhaps some upbeat news about what could be classified as the used-car manufacturing front.
Cox Automotive chief economist Jonathan Smoke reported on Monday that combined new-model sales into large rental, commercial and government fleets rose 55% in November compared to a year ago.
In what might be good for used-vehicle inventory availability down the road, Smoke indicated sales into rental fleets spiked 127% year-over-year, while sales into commercial fleets climbed 29%.
Smoke added in his blog that sales into government fleets surged 15% last month.
That November information builds on what TrueCar reported on the fleet front for October, which contained a 74.8% sales lift year-over-year.
TrueCar tabulated 153,223 new vehicles flowed into the fleet space in October.
