Toyota Corolla models led Japan’s vehicle sales rankings in the first half of the year, after the company fixed the model in October for the first time in six years.

The Japan Automobile Dealers Association said Thursday in a release that sales of the Corolla climbed 9.4 percent to 77,326 units in the six-month period that ended June 30. Toyota also took second place along with the Vitz compact car.

With engines of 1 to 1.5 liters, compact cars comprise the second-largest car segment in Japan behind minicars. Hirofumi Yokoi, an analyst at CSM Worldwide, said the category commanded a 28.9 percent market share or almost 1.56 million vehicles in 2006, and will grow to 29.4 percent this year.

Yokoi also said the segment will grow the fastest this year because of the top-selling three models, particularly the new Corolla. CSM forecasts the minicar category will decline from a 37.3 percent share in 2006 to 36.4 percent this year.

Equipped with quality Toyota catalytic converter, Corolla topped the sales ranking in June for a ninth straight month, followed by Toyota’s Vitz and Honda’s Fit.

Selling 4 out of every 10 vehicles in Japan, Toyota claimed 4 of the top 10 slots in sales rankings last month.

Excluding minicars and imports, Japan’s vehicle sales dropped for its 24th straight month in June by 11.2 percent to 291,640 units. Sales in the first half of 2007 dropped to their lowest since 1975 to 1.8 million.

Aside from Toyota, other Japanese car makers also achieved an increase. Honda Motor’s Fit compact was the third best-selling model. Suzuki Motor’s Wagon R and minicars kept the top slot for a fifth straight month, with sales of 19,786 in June. The second spot went to Daihatsu Motor’s Move, followed by Daihatsu’s Mira.

Minicars are powered by engines not larger than 0.66 liters. They accounted for 6 of the 10 best-selling models in June.

Car sales in Australia are improved last year 2007, but this year its quiet flipped because of some global problems like the increase of fuel price in International market in the previous quarters of 2008. Australia have a more than 15 million motor vehicles on the road which is about 77% are passenger vehicles. Last year over 1 million vehicles are sold in Australia which is 60% of that was passenger vehicle cars and the remaining percentage are sold SUVs.

According to the car sales from November, 2007 to November, 2008, the car sold are seasonally adjusted depends on every month of the year. And it depends also into the car sales of every city in Australia. Because some of the cities have decrease each sales and some are increase. But In general, the sales are depreciate this year because of fuel price. But it doesn’t mean that car sales are totally lowered in percentage, there’s a little bit adjustment only. Because of this quarter of the year, the car sales are on the go for booming it again. Due to the lowering of fuel price in international market, many of car buyer are on the go again to buy some cars.

The most car model sold are Toyota which have an about 22.5 percent share. Next car model sold are Holden who has 14%, and Ford that has 10% market share in Australia. Because of the number of passenger cars in Australia, the most sold car are Toyota corolla which is often to be a passenger car. So, you can notice the depreciation of private vehicles sales. In that matter, the fuel turmoil during the previous quarters of the year is the main reason why the car sales are low. That’s why, car industry are still on recovery in this quarter.

About the sales of used cars versus the new cars, used cars are more sales than new cars. No wonder because all over the world. In car industry, used cars are most in retail because of the economical price of it. If you compare of the new cars, used car price are almost half of the price of the new car. When it comes to the quality of the engine, new car is advantage. But when it comes to the price, used car is advantage. But you need to check the quality of the used car you want to buy. Since it was used already, you are not assure of the quality of it. You need to check the parts of it (Engine, Body, Chassis). Unlike the new cars that you don’t need to check it because it was surely on the good condition. In Australia, used cars are greater in sales because of the lower price of it than the new cars. The best example or used cars great sales are this year 2008. Because or the fuel hike, car buyers are made their own choice to buy used cars in order to get a lowest price. In generalization, the win-win situation when it comes to the car sales this 2008 was in favor of used car dealers.
