If we assume that the dealers did a 24 hour shift it means:

  • 3 Days á 24 Hours = 72 hours
  • 8653 Cars / 72 Hours = 120 cars per hour
  • 120 / 60 = 2 cars per minute...
  • So one car sold every 30 seconds.

If we assume normal 8 hours per day:

  • 3 days á 8 Hours = 24 hours
  • 8653 / 24 = 360 cars per hour
  • 360 / 60 = 6 cars per minute.
  • So one car sold every 10 seconds.

Without reading through the article: No, I'm pretty sure they didn't sell that many cars. --

If I had a crowd of people around me begging for a free car and all they had to do was sign the paperwork (the minimum legally required steps to buy a car) I couldn't keep up with that.

Not to mention that you would then also need an extra person to continuously refill the paper in the printer for 8 hours. :)
