CARY, N.C. -

A few automakers have shared their January certified pre-owned sales results with Auto Remarketing Canada, and it appears they are off to a quick start. 

For example, Hyundai’s H-Promise certified pre-owned program had its best January ever, moving 852 units. That beat year-ago figures by 41%.

Toyota’s 2,459 certified sales to start the year were up from 2,440 CPO sales in January 2019.  Lexus had 372 CPO sales for the month, up from 313 a year ago.

Nissan sold 1,023 certified vehicles in January, compared to 958 a year ago.

Infiniti moved 151 CPO vehicles, up from 116 last January.
