Across the automotive industry, November's sales are expected to surpass pre-recession levels, and Honda is one of the many brands that has seen vast improvements in recent years. In fact, the Japanese automaker just announced that its sales for the month broke the company's all-time record. Last month, there were more than 116,500 units sold, which is a 38.9 percent increase over the numbers from November 2011. The industry as a whole only saw about a 1.1 percent improvement in the same time period.
"We are now surpassing sales records set pre-recession, a true sign that our business has recovered," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales for American Honda. "Honda's all-time best November demonstrates the fundamental strength of our core products."
The Civic, which debuted in 1973, broke a 22-year-old record in November as well, selling more than 30,000 units. This not only shattered the record set in 1990, but it marks a 75 percent improvement from one year ago. While this may seem high, it pales in comparison to the Accord's sales improvements. This sedan saw an 83 percent increase over the same month in 2011, even though it undersold the Civic by nearly 4,000 units.
Honda's most popular models, including the Civic and Accord, have been pleasing customers for many years, which means that drivers interested in purchasing used models will have no trouble finding the pre-owned Honda of their choice at New Jersey State Auto Auction. The dealer carries a wide selection of makes and models, and every vehicle on the lot is CARFAX certified. This lets car shoppers know they'll be getting behind the wheel of a reliable ride when they buy a car from NJ State Auto.
