The road to recovery for local auto dealers continued in January, according to the latest figures from Virginia Automobile Dealers Association.
The VADA reported 2,677 new vehicle registrations in January in Chesterfield County, Henrico County, Hanover County and Richmond City combined. That’s up about 4 percent from 2,571 new vehicles registered in January 2010 and up 21 percent compared with January 2009.
These figures follow a promising 2010 year-end report from the VADA that showed just over 30,000 new cars and trucks were registered in the region’s four main localities last year, up about 1,000 vehicles compared with the doldrums of 2009.
As usual, domestics were far outsold by imports across the board. Hanover, Henrico and Richmond all saw rising levels of new vehicle registrations during the first month of the year compared with last year. However Chesterfield saw its total decline.
Here is a breakdown of the numbers for the four major localities in the Richmond region:
January 2011 total new vehicle registration = 2,677
Chesterfield – 219 domestics, 544 imports, 122 trucks = 885
