VEHICLE SALES FALL IN JUNE

THE National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa said on Sunday that vehicle sales for June have declined slightly, compared with the sales in the same period last year. The overall June sales stand at 24367 units sold, compared with 24657 units sold in May — a 1,2% decline. This is a 13,2% fall compared with the corresponding period in 1998. Industry commentators said the dip was largely expected as the selling days in June dipped with an extra public holiday.
