Despite an auto industry that is still feeling the effects of the recent economic downturn, one manufacturer in particular has enjoyed an especially good year. Chrysler recently announced that its sales were up 20 percent in July compared to last year, the 16th consecutive month of improvement.

Though overall sales were up for the company, USA Today reports it was Jeep that led the way. The brand was up 46 percent compared to last July, and the classic Wrangler saw a 43 percent gain.

Reid Bigland, head of U.S. sales, as well as CEO of the Dodge brand, attributes the boost in sales to the company's change in focus.

"I think that statistic is the ultimate testament to the progress we have made with our product in the areas of fuel economy, quality and design," Bigland said in a statement.

Whether looking to get behind the wheel of a Dodge Durango or a Jeep Grand Cherokee, drivers should turn to New Jersey Auto Auction, which offers many makes and models at affordable prices.
