German October new car sales up about two percent: source
HAMBURG (Reuters) - Car sales in Germany, Europe's largest auto market, stabilized in October in a sign of a recovery in vehicle demand in the region.
New auto registrations in Germany, home to Volkswagen (VOW3.DE), Daimler (DAI.DE) and BMW (BMW.DE), rose 2 percent year-on-year, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because official figures have not been published yet.
Year-to-date, German deliveries have dropped between 5 and 6 percent, the source further said.
Registrations can be an imperfect indicator for the health of Germany's car market, since they can lag demand by around two to three months.
