Despite the economic challenges, one retailer in Canterbury has received a buoyant start to the year.
EuroCanterbury Volkswagen, based at Broad Oak Road, has announced that customers snapped up more than 100 vehicles in January, generating a seven-figure sales revenue.
New vehicles amounted for 20 per cent of the sales with the remainder relating to used vehicles from Volkswagen’s Das Welt Auto programme – a new scheme which gives motorists the opportunity to modify its approved used vehicles, with all cars also benefitting from a full history check, a 12 month warranty and a 30 day exchange or return policy.
Chris Evans, general manager for EuroCanterbury Volkswagen, said:
“After the expense of Christmas, January is traditionally a quiet month for car retailers so naturally we are delighted to have started the year in such a buoyant way.
“2012 promises to be extremely exciting for us with the launch of two new vehicles in the next couple of months, including the new up! and Beetle.
“We are looking forward to continuing last month’s sales success for the remainder of the year for the benefit of the business and the local economy.”
