Lithia Motors’ first-quarter revenue improves thanks to increased new car demand.
Lithia Motors’ revenue in the first quarter of 2010 reached $463 million, up 13.4%.
Rising demand for new vehicles was a key contributor to the Medford company’s growth, with same-store new vehicle sales increasing 11.5% compared to the same period last year.
“We continued to improve solidly throughout the quarter locally and nationally,” Lithia Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Sid DeBoer said Tuesday.
“We have a very good market share. Even with unemployment high, the consumer returned to the new vehicle market and credit constraints that were around in 2009 were reduced.”
