Optimise Aggregation has partnered with The Adviser to present their inaugural Elite Broker Ranking in the asset finance space.

It was a case of another month, another record as car manufacturers racked up 111,099 new vehicle sales in May, as reported in VFACTS data last week.

The streak of record-breaking months to start 2024 has been extended after another big result in April, according to the latest VFACTS data.

The new car sales record books will need to be adjusted yet again after another monster result in March, which also helped break the all-time Q1 record.

The hot start to 2024 continued into February, with a record 105,023 new cars registered as sold across the month shattering the previous best.

2024 started off on a high for the motor industry with 89,782 new cars registered as sold across January, breaking the all-time record for the month.

The record for total new car sales across a single year in Australia was broken in December, while the Ford Ranger emphatically claimed the title of best-selling car model.

A car sales record was broken for the sixth time in seven months in November, as a strong result leaves an annual record haul for 2023 well and truly within reach leading into the last month of the year.

For the first time in Australian automotive history, the total number of new car sales has passed one million in October, as revealed by new VFACTS data released by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries last week.
