Motorcycle financing destroyed the situation of cars or trucks. Set -financed sales grew 4.8% over March 2024. And it was 1.5% higher than last February.
“The result of the first quarter shows that the sector is still warm, continuing the movement seen in the second half of 2024. It is noteworthy that the fall in March compared to the previous month is justified by the seasonality of the carnival, since the average vehicle -financed in March per day is higher than in February,” says B3 financing products, Daniel Takatoihi.
