Ford sales drop 40 percent in January
- Text size
Associated Press
February 3, 2009
Ford Motor Co. (F) (F) says its U.S. sales fell 40 percent in January, starting 2009 at an abysmal pace for the automaker and the industry.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Ford says it sold 93,060 light vehicles in the U.S. last month, compared with 155,832 in January 2008. Light vehicle sales exclude heavy trucks.
Other automakers report their sales later Tuesday.
Chrysler LLC sales chief Steven Landry said earlier Tuesday that he expects sales industrywide to drop as much as 35 percent from a year earlier. Landry said the annualized sales rate for the month could drop below 10 million for the first time in a quarter century, led by a large drop in fleet sales.
Ford says low-profit fleet sales of its Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brands, mainly to rental car companies, declined 65 percent. But Ford says its retail sales to individuals dropped only 27 percent.

Mike don’t pay any attention to this weiner. He only gets an hour on the computer at the library. Untill the first of the month he has nothing better to do. Keep your head up the country is all in this together and the last people I want to see go under is the auto workers.

Mike from michigan–
don’t be mad at me because you lost your job making pieces of shit that falter after 12,000 miles. Ford is going down because the public agrees that ford is shit just like Daewoo before it went bankrupt in the U.S. and they don’t care about your sorry ass….hahahha who is the real loser? YOU!
And to “sheepshearer”
give your slut mom back her computer and go play with your vagina!

See what I mean new day new hour at the library. Careful they will kick you out if they see you posting bad words. Don’t worry Febuary is a short month you and your mom will get your check in the mail soon. Please do us taxpayers a favor, at least use the libraries computer to look for a job. I haven’t heard the mom joke since I was in high school. Good to see there still around.

his is probably due to not accepting the bakster bail out money, and not becomeing slaves to the monetary illusion. prepare to watch ford fold, and then i will no longer be able to get parts for my truck.

My grandfather drove Ford pickups , I have owned 6 including the one in my driveway . Not to mention the 67 fastback and the 86 Gt Mustangs I have owned . All of them were dependable and I never made a major repair on any of them . This is a sad day for me . I know there are many more important issues that are
staring us in the face . But to me , this is one more piece of America that is being purposely destroyed . It amazes me how we are willing to watch strongholds ( unions, auto industry , steel industry , textile industry,
oil industry , tech industry , ect. ) destroyed because of perceived jealousies or apathy .
Unions , no doubt , became fat and bloated . But , did it ever occur to people that they raised the standards of competing industries , in employee living ? Other industries had to compete in salaries , benefits , work loads , and hours . Once the unions were gone the power of the average worker was gone ! Trust me , I have seen it many times . This is the method of operation for the NWO . Use jealousy and the ( false ) perceived notion that ALL things will be made fair by cutting everyone down to nothing .
We were even so stupid that we bought the notion that layed off workers and lower salaries were GOOD
for business . If the masses have less or no money , who is going to buy the SUV’s and I-Pods . Once again the ugly eye of jealousy was used . Too bad we were so easily manipulated . Now we will all be equally poor and imprisoned .

Go on, keep buying imports. Yes they employ alot of Americans but if all that money had stayed in this country from buying from American auto makers maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess. Reliability this, moneys worth that, blah, blah, blah. My dad didn’t fight in the war and build this nation so a bunch of slackers could buy imports and bitch about how bad things are.If you legally reside on American soil you are an American, pull your heads out, buy American as much as you can while you can! We are all in this together!

Depend how you look at it. If you buy American the profit stays in America to help Americas economy. If you buy imports even toyota then the profits go over seas to help their economy. So YOU are twenty years to late with that comment. Sounds like you own an import. It’s ok to admit it, freedom of speech you know. Personally I will never own an import. I like to keep my money in my economy but hey thats just me.

what in the hell are you talking about? Even american flags are made in China! And “sheepshearer” you sound like you take the bus. It’s ok to admit it, freedom of speech you know.

Good lord you again. Alright I’ll play. I bet the American flag you talk about being made in China was being sold at Wal-Mart. Most of the products at Wal Mart are made in China. Please get out more I’m glad you are looking at the tags to see where they are made. That gives me a little hope. Last time I took the bus which was on a buisness trip, the whole bus had a upcoming rapper, rapping and beat boxing to the passengers. I said never again, I’ll take a cab. Seriously I do own an American made car. I won’t own anything else.

For the umpteenth time,ALL U.S. CONSUMERS ARE FLOODED WITH AUTOMOBILES!!!!!!!! THIS ALL STARTED WHEN IMPORTED VEHICLES WERE ALLOWED IN THE U.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY ELSE WOULD EVERYBODY IN THE U.S. BE INSURANCE-POOR……STUPID BONE-HEADED IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!

Sheeepshearer, you are a real piece of work, an ignorant, obtuse asshole. You can’t comment on a topic with anything to say so you slink around & make stupid comments to people who do. Get a life, get a job & get out of here. I’d love to hang around & trade insults but I never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

My comments are not ment to be insulting and I’m sorry if you or anyone take them that way. When I see a comment made like this one where he says all FORD products suck I have to give my take. It’s conversation. If one would look at the quality of Ford now, how can one say that? Ford’s quality is surpassing Toyota by far but you have to research and take the time to find that out. Toyota is getting so big now they are falling into the same syndrome the Big 3 did in the past they can’t contain quality. But the Big 3 is downsizing and can control the quality better. People post things just to be posting without researching the facts.

The labels are phony. “Ford”. whatever. Get past the labels and you’ll get to the truth. There is no “Ford”, and there is no 40%. Only in your mind, as they put it there.

i’ve never owned a better vehicle than my 93 4×4 ranger. in the late nineties ford decided that diversity was job 1. instead of quality. they put out a taurus that had to have a new transmission every 40k miles. screw em. and just for your info. toyota is more american made than any other vehicle on the road.
