"Until now the regulation effective June 15, 2012 has no significant impact on Mazda sales."Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Car maker PT Mazda Motor Indonesia (MMI) has targeted to sell 12 thousand cars in the domestic market this year, its marketing manager said.
Mazda sold a total of 4,836 cars in the first semester of 2012, with the variant Mazda 2 contributing nearly 60 percent of the overall sales, Astrid Ariani said here on Friday.
The other contributions to the first-semester sales came from variants BT-50 and CX-5.
Astrid said Mazda recorded the highest sales of 1,074 units in June 2012 since it started operating in Indonesia.
She said Mazda would try to achieve the 2012 sales target through three similar variants, namely Mazda 2, Mazda CX-5 and BT-50.
Asked to comment on Bank Indonesia`s new rules requiring minimum down payment of 30 percent for mortgages and four-wheeled vehicle loans, she said the regulation did not have an impact on Mazda sales in June and July 2012.
"Until now the regulation effective June 15, 2012 has no significant impact on Mazda sales," she said.
Yet the management of Mazda auto maker was still monitoring the extent to which the regulation had had an impact on sales in the past few months, she said.
