Australian motor vehicle sales achieved an all time April record, with car buyers apparently still undeterred by recent rises in interest rates.
Official VFACTS figures released today by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) show that a total of 84,061 cars, trucks and buses were sold last month: an increase of 11.2 per cent on April 2007.
"While the April result was boosted by the early timing of Easter, which fell in March, the underlying sales trend remains notably strong and resilient," said the Chief Executive of the FCAI, Andrew McKellar.
Year-to-date the car market is now up by 5.1 per cent on the all-time record year of 2007.
"Private motorists are buying cars at the same rate as last year (up 0.6 per cent YTD) and business purchases have risen by 12.6 per cent so far this year," he said.
"The FCAI forecast of one million vehicle sales this year remains firm," said Mr McKellar.
The main drivers of market growth last month were small cars, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and Light Trucks.
In the Passenger Vehicle Market, the small car segment rose by 3603 vehicle or 24.0 per cent over April last year, while the medium car segment (up 755 or 11.4 per cent) and the light car segment (up 505 of 5.3 per cent) also contributed.
The Light Truck market grew by 3077 or 22.6 per cent, with the Pick-up/Cab-chassis (PU/CC) 4x4 and PU/CC 4x2 segments adding 1403 and 922 sales respectively.
The van segment also grew by 686 vehicles or 42.7 per cent.
Toyota remained the top-selling marque in April with 24.8 per cent of the market, followed by Holden with 12.1 per cent and Ford with 9.8 per cent.
So far this year Toyota leads the sales race with 81,062 from Holden with 44,037 and Ford with 34,533.

April new vehicle sales continue at record pace.
Despite the tightening economy having its effect on other sectors, new vehicle sales in April continued to set records. Although April is seasonally one of the slower months for the vehicle market, April 2008 (helped by the extra selling days arising from Easter falling in March) produced sales of 5551 new car sales and 2022 new commercial vehicles. New car sales were 13.6% higher than in April 2007 and new commercial vehicle sales were 16.8% ahead of the same month last year.
“New vehicle dealers continue to do very good business,” said Motor Industry Association CEO Perry Kerr. “This was the best April for new commercial vehicle sales for 26 years, and the best April for new car sales since 1990. The first four months of the year have produced 5.8% more new car sales than the same period last year, and for new commercial vehicle sales the increase is 10.7%.”
Toyota continued to lead the market for both cars and commercial vehicles, and for the month of April the surprise second place-getter for new car sales was Hyundai.
Corolla continues as the country’s favourite new car model on a year to date basis, although Commodore took the honours for the month of April.
