Have you ever tried to buy an iPhone or iPad at Apple store right after the launch? It's almost impossible as the items are sold as soon as they arrive at the store. This simple economics of supply and demand also applies to cars. The less time a new car sits on a dealer lot unsold, more popular the particular car is. During the month of May, the first month of decline in total car sales in the past eight months, the cars generally stayed longer on the lot. The average number of days for a new vehicle to be sold was 54 days in May, compared to 48 days in April and 50 days in May of last year. The average number of days it took to sell a new vehicle went from 48 days in April to 54 days in May. The fastest mover in May was 2012 Hyundai Elantra at just 3 days, while the slowest mover was 2011 Jaguar XKR.
Then how many days for a MINI Countryman? It was 13th fastest moving vehicle, taking an average of only 21 days to sell.
