I hope They can keep it going. When everyone was saying how Chrysler fell out of the top three last year i felt Ford will be at A bigger risk of falling out of the top three if all the new Chrysler products would kick off and sell well.

 

Now that's some great news.

 

hey chase who sent you that link?

 

Read the whole article though. Chrysler didn't gain much, ford just fell. By their own doing. They like GM has already done are cutting fleet sales big time. To help with brand image. Who cares how many cars you sell if your not making any money on them. Chrysler is a prime example of this. Enterprise is our largest source for dumping rams and dakotas. They really push them with them. Ever check the resale value on a ram? It sucks. My 05 that stickered at 36000 is now worth 16000 on trade. Its only got 9000 miles on it. In two years 20 grand? That's nuts.

The only true winner in this story is the Asian car companies. They keep getting more of the share, while the big two and chrysler keep losing, or just hanging on to what they had.

 

And it's bad that Ford fell and we took their spot? We're still top 3!

you, lol, and?

 

It's bound to happen

500<300
Crown Victoria: Outdated <Charger
Edge: On the edge of being outdated, stupid commercials,90's design
Escape: Advertised as a girly car, owned by Liberty
Explorer: Since 1815, easiest vehicle to flip over record
Expedition: 3 MPG, outdated
Excurison: Maps needed for nearest gas stations, retarded huge
F-Series: Engine fires, gas tanks falling off
FreeStar: Owned by Caravan, T&C
Focus: Negative HP, poor reliability
Fusion: Actaully not half bad looking, but still <300, Charger, Magnumetc
Triton: Poor reliability <Duramax <Cummins

 

you forgot the mustang which is the #1 teenage girl car (followed closely by the scion tc, of course) and is also the #1 douche-mobile because everybody who has one will not hesitate to tell you justhow fast their stock v6 disgustang will go.

 

SHAPman, Don't lose sight of the fact that resale has NOTHING to do with sticker or suggested retail price. Resale has to do with actual sales price , before taxes. Now what was the price you paid before taxes? Consumers base thier purchase price of used vehicles on the realistic new sale price, current new pricing and the glut of used trucks on the market because of "great deals" on new trucks and all the trade-ins.

 

When I bought it, the employee price with rebates was 24500. But remember most people don't get emp price. That alone was 4000 dollars. So either way you look at it the resale on a ram blows. The average customer would have paid 28500 for that truck. So in two years and 9000 miles its would have dropped 12500. That is still too much.
