Ford and Lincoln dealers in the United States delivered 204,447 new vehicles in September 2016, a 7.7 percent decrease compared to September 2015. Ford attributes the decrease to “lower industry volumes”.
Sales of the Ford brand were down 8.1 percent year-over-year to 195,650 units, while Lincoln sales were up 1.3 percent to 8,797 units.
“We continue seeing strong customer demand, especially for vans and pickup trucks, including our all-new Super Duty,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “Demand for a rich mix of our all-new Super Duty pickups helped boost Ford’s average transaction prices by $1,100 versus a year ago, outpacing the industry’s $400 average.”
