Automakers on Tuesday reported selling 14.57 million new vehicles for the year, a far cry from the five previous years with sales over 17 million. Auto sales tumbled 34% in the first half of the year as factories closed for about two months, cutting off the supply of new vehicles. That and low interest rates drove sales up and pushed the average auto sales price to a record of just over $38,000 in December, according to J.D. Retail sales to individual buyers are close to normal levels, but sales to fleet buyers such as rental car companies are still down. Among automakers, GM's sales were down 11.9% for the year, while Toyota sales were off 11.4%.
