U.S. auto sales per dealership probably will climb to a record in 2013 as carmakers contain the number of their outlets and boost vehicle deliveries for a fourth straight year, according to an industry consulting firm.
Annual sales per dealer will increase to an estimated 839 vehicles from last year’s record of 812, consulting firm Urban Science said today in an e-mailed statement. The Detroit-based company used an industry estimate for this year of 15 million car and light-truck sales.
