The Indonesian new car market continues on its record run this year and lodges a 100,000+ sales month for the 5th time in the last 6 months at 103,474 units, the 2nd biggest monthly tally after October 2012 (106,806). The impressive fact is before last June, never had Indonesian car sales found themselves above 100,000 units/month, ever. Bonus in November: the year-to-date total breaks the historical 1-million sales barrier for the first time at 1,026,606 units, and there is one month to go still in 2012…
