Ford Motor Company U.S. Sales Decrease 0.6 Percent To 172,612 Units In January 2017

Ford and Lincoln dealers in the United States delivered 172,612 new vehicles in January 2017, a 0.6 percent decrease compared to January 2016. Cumulative sales of the Ford brand decreased 1.6 percent to 163,827 units, while Lincoln sales increased 22.4 percent to 7,785 units.

“The new year brought strong consumer demand for F-Series, Lincoln and record SUV sales, especially high-end models,” said Mark LaNeve, Ford vice president, U.S. Marketing, Sales and Service. “This drove near-record company average transaction prices for Ford, up $2,500 versus a year ago and far outpacing the overall January industry increase of $550.”

January 2017 notes (vs. January 2016, except as noted):
