March 2015 Reports and April Preliminary Data

March

New titles in March surged over February and came in a healthy 6.33% percent up over March of 2014. The new title total of 1,042 is the highest a month has come in at since we've been publishing these reports, so it will be interesting to see where that total ends up after late SOL processing.

Used titles were also up over February, but came in significantly lower than March of 2014.
