                    [Summary] => Passenger car sales dropped 23.7 percent to 15,818 units in the first eight months of the year from the year-ago 20,736 units, the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (Campi) reported yesterday.

August car sales were also higher than July’s 2,061 units.

(Continued from last week)

Makers of motor vehicles being sold in this country appear to have different policies when it comes to replacing so-called lemon cars. For one, nobody in the local automotive industry could remember any instance that a manufacturer has returned the payment of a buyer for a vehicle that failed to perform to popular standards. 


But one reader has e-mailed The STAR to announced that he has managed to have his car replaced by the dealer who had sold it to him.

Data from the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers of the Philippines Inc. (CAMPI) indicated that total industry sales was 1,014 units less than the units sold in February 2000.


According to CAMPI, year to date sales also showed a 16-percent decline from 13,912 units sold in the first two months of last year compared to only 11,686 units this year.

Month-on-month, vehicle sales fell by 10 percent from December’s 6,372 units.
