It's tough selling vehicles in South America. Outside of the largest cities, only really cheap cars are going to sell. This is especially true in the early 1900s.

I usually have "lost sales" when I'm not producing enough vehicles. Or when I've messed up the distribution somehow. (Such as not setting a store to pull vehicles from any factories.)

Weath distribution chart show you have many sales? But what does the buyer rating tables say?

If there are missing sales in the sales reports, then Jackies' suggestion is quite right. Normally that's lack of production or bad shipping settings.

I'll need to see the save game for any deeper tips. Feel free to send it to me, but I won't be able to check it for another 12 hours or so.

it was a shipping setup, thank you guys, wonderful community

I'm a bit late to the party, but note that shipping is fairly expensive early in the century, so if you are HQed in South America and want to sell from your starting factory in Europe and NAmerica, you will get eaten by shipping costs even if you adjust maximum shipping distances. You'll want to build factories in the general region you will be selling in.
