January traditionally is not one of the better months to rack up high sales figures, for several reasons. People are paying off Christmas expenses and credit card debt. Bad weather and snow often make it hard for people to get to dealerships and shop. High heating and energy bills at home mean that money that otherwise would go for car payments is going into running the house instead. Some people get started with their taxes, which of course takes up time. Long hours of darkness make it difficult to inspect cars outdoors. And (wisely) some people, me included, just don't WANT to get a nice brand-new vehicle right in the middle of salt-and-sand and pothole season on the roads, for obvious reasons.
