Romania Car Sales By Brand : 2013

Dacia going well both in Romania and elsewhere

Car sales fell 13.1%, the 6th consecutive year sales have fallen. Over 300,000 cars were sold in 2007, so things have tightened up in Romania. The good news was the improvement in sales for local brand Dacia. As evidenced by the green below, not too many car importers could say that.

To lighten things, for the third quarter of 2013 the Romanian economy grew at its fastest pace for two years. This may improve things for 2014. At least Dacia car dealers are smiling.
