sales of 173,723 vehicles decline 3 percent versus last year
Coming off strong results last January, Ford Motor Company’s
total U.S. sales of 173,723 vehicles declined 3 percent last month
versus a year ago.
Bright spots for January include industry-leading transaction
price increases for the month, the best start since 2004 for Ford
brand SUV sales and an 8-percent gain in sales for Lincoln.
“For Ford, overall transaction prices were up $1,800 in January
– almost three times more than the overall industry average –
driven largely by strong customer demand, especially for our SUVs
and F-Series pickups,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S.
Marketing, Sales and Service.
Ford SUVs totaled 50,212 sales last month – a 3 percent increase
versus a year ago and the brand’s best sales start since 2004. The
all-new Edge was the biggest driver, posting a 26 percent jump on
sales of 9,533 vehicles.
Transit sales increased 51 percent in January with 9,631
vehicles sold, lifting overall Ford van performance 20 percent for
their best start since 1985.
F-Series January sales totaled 51,540 vehicles, down 5 percent.
F-Series average transaction pricing grew $2,500 last month, while
incentive spending was down $500 versus a year ago.
“We continue seeing strong commercial fleet orders for F-150 and
will be filling more orders this year,” LaNeve said. “As the
largest seller of commercial vehicles, this represents good news
for Ford trucks and the overall economy.”
Lincoln sales increased 8 percent, for the best start of the
year since 2008. Lincoln sold 7,177 vehicles, and the all-new MKX
posted a 51 percent increase with 2,052 vehicles sold. It was
Lincoln’s best January for SUVs since 2001.
