BANDON, Ore. -

As the data starts rolling in, June used sales are up both from May and the same period of 2012, according to CNW Research.

Total used sales for June came in at 4.49 million, per CNW data. This is up from 4.39 million used sales in May and 4.38 million during the same period last year.

The June sales results brings the year-to-date total to 20.14 million used sales.

And it seems both franchised and independent dealers got their share of the pie, with both groups seeing year-over-year sales increases. 

Franchised used sales came in at 1.74 million unis, which made up 38.79 percent of the total sales. This number marked a 3.35-percent rise in sales versus June of 2012.

Independent dealers followed closely behind with 1.53 million used sales, which made up 34.09 percent of the total.

Independent dealer sales this past month contributed to a 3.82 percent sales rate climb from the same period of last year.
