AP Ford Motor's June sales skid 27.9 percent Tuesday July 1, 12:28 pm ET By Tom Krisher and Dee-Ann Durbin, AP Auto Writers Ford Motor's June sales drop 27.9 percent as high gas prices, sluggish economy take toll. DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. says its U.S. sales tumbled 27.9 percent in June as high gas prices and a weak economy deepened the trouble facing the company. The company blames the decline on high gas prices and low consumer confidence that are sending buyers to the sidelines. Ford reports steep drops in sales of pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. For the first half of the year, Ford's sales were down 14 percent compared with the year-ago period. Ford is the first automaker to report sales data Tuesday. Industry analysts expect June to be a dismal month for the industry with sales down double digits from last June. They also say Toyota Motor Corp. may take the U.S. sales lead from General Motors Corp.

Replying to: circlew (Jun 30, 2008 7:22 am) Why would you need an extended warranty?? Our Rainier's 3/36 ran out in 11/06, and has yet to cost me a dime??? My '99 Ultra has been in for ONE repair in 6 years, a MAF sensor, at a total cost of $250. Everything else has been routine maint. Tires, brakes, rotors, tune-up, and oil changes. A couple other things broke (door handle, seat belt latch, fuel line) but I replaced them myself. This car, while not the most impressive thing I've owned, has cost me about $1250 in 6 years. $500 for tires, $250 for a fender (my fault). When you take into account the $250 for the sensor, that leaves $250 for everything else-IN 6 YEARS!!! Warranty? What Warranty???

Thats not bad. I wonder what happened to Audi though, I heard sales has been rising significantly but the numbers dont seem to agree. sls, as far as I know its because a "new" leftover car is considered a used car with very low mileage and new car warranty. Two things a Cadillac does have over a German car is that it is far more reliable and a lot more cost-effective to have it serviced and repaired. That I agree. The cadi's really cheap to maintain, beaten only by BMW with its standard 4 yr free maintenance. I figure I'd lose another 5k over 2 years, which is very reasonable. I dont know if I'd love the car, as this is the 1st time I'm considering a domestic brand. But $25k for a certified 06 STS? I figure I'll take that bet, since a 3 yr old 300c cost about the same, and that kind of money buys me only a much older german lux sedan.
