New Car Sales Decline In Clare During November As Diesel Engines Keep Local Used Market Ticking Over

A Clare Car Dealer insists demand for combustion engines in the county remains strong despite new registrations declining in November. The latest figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry show that since September, new car sales have fallen locally by 86%. Five of the fifteen vehicles sold in Clare last month were imported , all of which were automatic transmissions. Damien Hayes from Al Hayes Motors Skoda on the Gort Road in Ennis believes however that the local used market is more beneficial to customers.
