car news headlines
Chrysler's UK arm has announced that it has achieved its best ever March sales results.
In news that may be of interest to drivers who spent their Car Loans on a Dodge Caliber or Nitro, these models, along with the Jeep Patriot, are thought to have been largely responsible for the positive result.
However, Jon Wakefield, sales director for Chrysler UK, commented: "This success isn't just down to having some excellent cars that offer great value for money. We started the new year with a fresh approach to our marketing and consumer offers and made sure that these were fully engaged with our dealers."
The figures highlight that March 2008 saw a 20 per cent increase in sales compared with the same month in 2007, with more than 4,000 units sold.
Earlier this year, Chrysler announced revisions to its 300C model to ensure that the car would "stand out even more".
