November 2006 was the third highest sales month in 42 years for Mercedes Benz USA.

When other car makers struggle for sales, top prestige motor car maker Mercedes Benz has seen the sales rocket for the month of November 2006.

The company have sold 22,079 units (Vehicles) which is astonishing for a the car maker whose figures for the same time last year were 18,284 that is an increase of 20.8 percent, which in anyone's language is totally huge. But it is hardly a major surprise when you look at the special edition car that they recently produced of the CL 600 Luxury Coupé, only 20 were made with a price tag of $160,000 and all were sold within eight minutes of them going on sale (I would have liked to have been the salesman!!) which just goes to prove that the higher end car market is very buoyant and is fact growing at a massive rate.

The overall sales for the whole range of models were up and quite convincingly too! Sales of the S class were 2,780 which is nearly double on the same period last year and the E class 4,918 were sold which was an increase of 26.6 percent up on the month of November 2005.
