Pebley Celebrates First Quarter at Full Speed

Pebley Beach is celebrating a great start to 2013 with sales figures showing very positive year on year increases for the first quarter of the year.

Nationally, both Hyundai and Suzuki have seen an increase in sales for the period January to April 2013 with increases of 12.5% and 29.1% respectively.  Due to the launch of the ‘13’ plate, Hyundai saw 12,157 vehicles registrations and Suzuki confirmed 7,089 registrations of new vehicles in March alone.

However, locally Pebley Beach has beaten both manufacturers’ national figures.  Pebley Beach Hyundai has seen a sales increase above the national average of 15% and just over 33% for Pebley Beach Suzuki cars.

Dom Threlfall, managing director of Pebley Beach, said: “The market for new cars in Swindon continues to grow and local drivers see the benefits of driving Hyundais and Suzukis, particularly our best sellers the Hyundai i10 and the Suzuki Swift, as they’re efficient, economical and a great drive.

“New cars can also work out cheaper than second hand if you factor in the associated maintenance and servicing costs, so make sense to buy.  In particular, Suzuki has just announced the extension on it’sVAT free campaign until the end of June 2013 and now spread across four models, which makes the Alto now just starting at £5,999.”

Pebley Beach Hyundai’s sales were also boosted by the company’s fleet service, which was launched in Swindon in 2012.  Last year, Hyundai was the fastest-growing manufacturer in the Fleet sector with a 40% increase nationally over 2011.

It has been attracting and winning new business customers on the back of industry-leading Whole Life Costs and a completely revitalised product line up.
