CSK Auto Sales Up in 3Q

Chicago, CSK Auto Corp. said on Monday sales rose about 16% in its fiscal third quarter mainly on acquisitions, and that it would further delay filing formal results due to ongoing financial restatements. Sales rose 16% to $473.8 million in its third quarter ended Oct. 29, mainly due to the acquisition of Murray's Discount Auto Stores in December 2005.

CSK Auto said in September that two top executives and several finance staff had left the retailer following an investigation of accounting errors and improprieties that will result in various restatements dating to 2001.
