THE year's car sales look set to be the lowest in recent years.
Preliminary figures from the Land Transport Authority and Motor Traders Association indicate that the year will end with about 97,000 new cars put on the road - 9 per cent fewer than last year and 17 per cent down from 2006's record.
This year's sales are the lowest since 2004's 96,861 cars. But it could have been - some say should have been - lower.
