Hottest-Selling New Cars in America for January 2016

The Toyota Camry is America’s hottest-selling car for January 2016. Beating second place by over 66,000 units, 2015 marks the fourteenth consecutive year the Toyota Camry has held the coveted title of being America’s number #1 selling vehicle.

Starting off 2016 in the lead with 26,848 units sold in January, an increase of 0.3 percent over same month last year. The Camry just beat out the second place Honda Accord by 107 units.

The vehicle to watch and with the greatest increase over January 2014’s sales numbers is the Honda Accord. The Accord nipped at the Camry’s heels last month with 26,741 sales and an impressive increase of 43.0 percent over January 2014’s number of 18,699.

Over 50 percent of the vehicles on the top 20 list show a decrease in sales compared to January 2014’s numbers. The Chevrolet Cruze (-23.2%), Nissan Versa (-24.1%) and Ford Focus (-29.8%) where the biggest losers for the month. Many experts believe this may be because of the cheap gas prices sweeping across the Nation.

Competition Between Dealers Always Gets You the Best Price

The number one rule to saving the most money when buying a car is to do your new car research online before visiting a car dealership.

When negotiating a new cars price, it’s important to know the dealer invoice price and what other people are paying for the same vehicle in your local area. Otherwise, you won’t know what’s a good price to pay for the vehicle.

I highly recommend using an online referral service such as Ryde Shopper or Motor Trend, their quotes will automatically include any discounts or cash-back incentives currently available in the marketplace.
