Sales in February also represented a 14.7% increase compared with sales in January this year, despite shorter working days, Gaikindo said.
Sales of market leader Toyota totaled 16,174 units or a market share of 34.1%.
Asia Pulse reported that Gaikindo chairman Johnny Darmawan said the sales performance exceeded expectations as normally sales declined in February every year.

Domestic consumers have responded strongly to the sharp cuts in interest rates back to the more benign levels of around 8%, from a high of 12.5% at the end of 2005.
