The 8% monthly gain therefore should not be applied to the whole year or treated as a future pace.","The RAIAVL compiles administrative information supplied by participating industry companies. Its purpose is to provide an advance count of retail sales of light vehicles in Mexico’s domestic market.

The totals therefore do not establish that every manufacturer sold more, that domestic manufacturing increased or that all segments performed alike. Domestic sales can include vehicles built in Mexico and imported units; the headline aggregate does not separate those origins.","The year-on-year comparison helps limit seasonal differences between months, but it is not a seasonally adjusted month-to-month series and does not show the adjusted path of sales. Nor does a unit count automatically measure spending, since it contains no monetary value or average price. The increase in sales volume is an administrative result, not an estimate of the contribution to gross domestic product.","For businesses and readers following the sector, the release provides a national reference for retail demand for new light vehicles, with the caveat that the advance may be revised when the complete report is issued.
