Ford Takes Four of Top Five Spots in AutoTrader.com's June Most-Viewed New Vehicles List


In Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) views during June, the BMW 3 series retained the No. 1 spot, a position it also held in May of this year and in June of 2008. The Honda Accord retained the No. 2 spot in CPO views in June, a spot it held in May of this year and last June. These perennial favorites and other CPO vehicles listed for sale on AutoTrader.com continue to benefit from consumers' growing interest in CPO vehicles as an avenue for acquitting a newer, high-quality car at a price lower than a similar new car.

"As price-conscious consumers concerned about the state of the economy cross-shop new, used and CPO vehicles against each other, we continue to see record traffic," said Perry. "AutoTrader.com distinguishes itself among automotive inventory sites by being the only one where consumers can opt to shop all three categories of vehicles simultaneously. I get a sense looking at shopping activity on our site, and our record site traffic that consumers are looking for quality, reliability and affordability as they get ready to make their next new or used car purchase. Given the state of the economy, it's understandable that many consumers are sitting on the fence, researching cars, doing the math and waiting for the right piece of news or the right economic figure to get them off the fence and onto the dealer lot to make a purchase."
