Ford Mustang Stays in the Sales Game

Today Ford Motor Co. released their official sales figures for the month of June. According to the report, the company sold 7,632 Mustangs last month. In June of 2008, the company sold 10,893 Mustangs. That's a 29.9% decrease in sales for the month when compared to the previous year.

When you put things into perspective, Mustang is hanging in there given the current state of the economy. Fewer people are buying new cars this year, yet the Mustang managed to stay in the game. Of course, May is still the best sales month of the year for Mustang. This May Ford sold 8,812 Mustangs.

Lately Ford hasn't had much to say about the Mustang in their monthly sales reports, until today that is. Ford pointed out, "Ford Mustang sales to retail customers nearly matched year-ago levels. The new 2010 Mustang, which debuted in May, achieved a 52 percent conquest rate in June – one of the highest for any Ford product."
