I wonder when was the last time that Ford Australia sold close to that number in a month…

Convincing head office to give us more than token amounts of other products is key…
Heck, anything more would be great but there’s the rub…..
Fixed that for you.

Now about those registrations, just drove past my local Ford dealer and in their new car section they have half a dozen Rangers with plates attached.
Now they either register sold cars and leave them on the front row in a yard without fencing which if I was the owner of 1 I'd be ****ed at, or they've demo'd an unusually high number of the same product in a month where they conveniently outsold their direct competitor, that they traditionally go neck and neck with, by 2k units to claim #1 spot.
Call me a cynic but I think someones fudged the numbers for a win and expect January's to be down as they balance the inventory.
