SHANGHAI, Feb 6 (Reuters) - China's passenger car sales fell 0.2 percent from a year earlier in January to 647,594 vehicles, the China Passenger Car Association said on Friday.
But sales edged up from December, when they totalled 644,028 vehicles, according to data previously provided by the association.
The association's data may differ from official figures expected to come out early next week.
The January year-on-year comparison was distorted by the fact that a week-long Lunar New Year holiday occurred in January this year but in February 2008. (Reporting by Fang Yan; Editing by Andrew Torchia)
