GM recently reported that its four core brands performed well in October – a detail that might get people to think about buying used Chevrolets in New York.

GM’s core brands include Buick, Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet. In October, at total of 177,603 vehicles were sold, which is 4 percent more than in October of 2008, and constitutes GM’s first year-over-year gain since January of 2008. Compared to September, GM’s sales number was 13 percent higher last month.

“We’re very pleased with consumer acceptance to our newest cars, crossovers and trucks,” said Susan Docherty, GM’s vice president of sales. “While we have more work to do, we are making progress and will continue our focus on delivering vehicles and a sales and service experience that brings consumers to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac – and keeps them coming back.”

Used Chevrolets in New York might not be the only cars that become more popular thanks to GM’s performance last month. Pre-owned models of its other brands might start to sell fast too since consumer confidence could increase because of the company’s sales performance.
