Thanks for sharing. I for one hope Chrysler does well in the future. Not just for the sake of my warranty, but for the hard working men and women who make such fine products. I do have to admit however that I'm especially proud of Ford for not taking bail out funding from the government. Although in the past I've been a Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep fan, I may need to give Ford first consideration when it comes time to replace our next vehicle.

 

I agree, always been a Powerstroke fan myself, the ram was just too cheap to pass up as i was on the way to the Ford dealership

 

The reason Ford has not needed bailout money is because their CEO, Alan Mulally, had either the foresight or just a pure stroke of luck (probably a little of both) to borrow billions of dollars before the market tanked. Once the market tanked the banks actually wanted to back out of the lines of credit, which of course they could not. If the auto market does not turn around significantly by the end of this year, they will need bailout money as well. So they aren't out of the woods yet.

Still, you have to give them kudos for being in the shape that they are. Their sales are reflecting the positive image it has given them over GM and Chrysler. If the market turns around quickly at the end of this year, Ford will come out smelling like roses.

 

I hope so we sold 45 new vehs this month and 30 last month and havent got any new cars in we have been buying up dealers cars that are going out of bus, But we have alot on order esp my buddys RT challenger hes been dieing to get that car since march .
