Over the first half of March, new car sales are up an encouraging 3% year-on-year in Greece to 1,610 registrations. Or are they? Off this total, 650 were fleet sales, which means that for the first time in decades, private sales have plunged below 1,000 units halfway through the month which is extremely worrying… Brand-wise, Toyota takes the lead with 202 sales and 12.5% followed by Volkswagen at 169 units and 10.5% and Skoda with 141 sales and 8.8%.

Previous month: Greece February 2013: Nissan Micra at best in almost 2 years
