The Dutch sales experienced a brisk dip in the past year, almost as bad as 2009 and a level that for the last time in 1969 was taken… Luckily there seems to be sunshine after the rain, the first month of 2015 make note of the sell a nice plus of 8.1 percent. It is still wait and see on the growth in the rest of the year, but it’s a start. Moreover, market researcher Aumacon moderately positive, January was ‘the past’ is the busiest month for car dealers because people like to have a model of the new model year wanted. Now the government each year, the rules relating to the favorable tax and road tax have seen cutbacks, rushing people precisely in december to the dealer, and is January is a heavy month.

Volkswagen leads the rankings, and know more than twice as many cars to sell than number two Renault. Thus, almost one in five new cars this year from Wolfsburg.
