A dealership in Scotland has announced a strong start to the last quarter of the year.

Despite the period being a traditionally difficult time for dealers, Belmont Suzuki said their Sighthill site in Edinburgh had achieved over half of its quarterly new retail sales target during October.

Part of the John Martin Group, it is also on course to surpass its 100% objective for the three month period before the end of November.

Making up nearly 20% of sales was the Grand Vitara four wheel drive while the Swift Supermini also proved popular with 65% of customers taking advantage of Suzuki’s 0% APR offer.
