August Auto Sales: Cash for Clunkers' Climactic Conclusion
2009 August Auto Sales - Car Sales Analysis - Automobile Magazine
Even more so than in July, the federal government's blizzard of car-buying incentive cash made new-car dealerships an unlikely oasis in the U.S. economic desert of mid-2009.

August's 1,262,189 new-vehicle sales was a whopping 47 percent higher than the 860,101 units recorded in June (the last pre-Clunkers month).
