Chrysler US reports total July sales of 98,109 units

Chrysler LLC reported total July 2008 U.S. sales of 98,109 units, which is 29 percent below the same period last year. Total July sales reflect a continued contraction of the market of pickup trucks and SUV sales and reductions in fleet sales. The Company’s recently completed 'Let’s Refuel America $2.99 Gas Guarantee' promotion boosted showroom traffic and helped sales of Chrysler’s newest highly fuel-efficient vehicles throughout the three-month program period. All sales figures are reported as unadjusted.
