With the Fiscal Cliff agreement finalized, this year may be one for the auto industry to shine.
The last minute decision keeping the country from going over the Fiscal Cliff is good news for the U.S. economy as well as the auto industry.
Industry analysts are confident the car market is back on track after one of its worst downturns.
A new study by R.L. Polk estimates new vehicle registrations will reach 15.3 million just this year.
The study forecasts it'll get into the 16 million range by 2015.
That'd be almost a 7% rise from 2012's final sales numbers.
Dave McClellan, the Sales Manager at Reganis Auto Center, says he's not convinced avoiding the cliff will cause a big boom in the industry, but only time will tell.
"I'm a little skeptical of it because they're saying our taxes are due to go up anyway, I don't know if I can believe that yet."
McClellan says with taxes going up you'd think there would be lower sales, but here in Scottsbluff, auto sales numbers continue to rise from hail damage insurance payments.
