(a) Original sales data are provided by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries and sourced from VFACTS.
(b) Extreme care should be exercised in using the seasonally adjusted series for the number of new motor vehicles sales in Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory. The highly erratic nature of this data makes reliable estimation of the seasonal pattern very difficult.
