DETROIT — General Motors, less than four months out of bankruptcy, on Tuesday reported its first year-over-year sales increase in the United States in 21 months.
G.M. was among the automakers who said their October sales figures showed that the nation's new-vehicle market was slowly but steadily recovering from the multidecade lows hit earlier this year.
G.M.'s sales rose 4 percent from October 2008, helped in part by an aggressive advertising campaign and a 60-day money-back guarantee that the company recently extended into January 2010.
