I'm looking to gather some local market data for new and used sales. I'm wondering what data source you guys use outside of your own data to track where your sales numbers stand compared to your local market! Not talking about gross here. Just overall sales volume. Thoughts???

I'll vouch for the Domain CrossSell reports. I've used them in the past, and as long as they haven't screwed them up over the last few years (like most other Dominion tool and services,) they spit out some solid reporting.

It's been awhile but I also used Polk/IHS vehicle sales data as well - https://ihsmarkit.com/products/light-vehicle-sales-operations-forecast.html

The interactive version is great - you can view the data any way you want for any area you want.
