I spose that raising money from the market, instead of getting it from the government does show some confidence, but borrowing money at 7% so you can sell cars at zero percent finance, may have its draw backs. |

compared to what GM and Toyota are offering with regards cash and financing. USA is in the middle of an incentives war. Toyota RAV4: No money down, $299/month drive away..... One thing, the finance raised was for funding changes to the structure of the business, not for customer finance. The two are separate issues. Last edited by jpd80; 08-04-2010 at 07:22 PM. |

With the way things are going for Ford at the moment, and with GM loosing money again, surely Ford is the biggest in the US again

JPD, the money was raised by Ford Credit, Not Ford Motor Company. Altho owned by ford moco, they are seperate. There are no issues that Ford should compete with GM and Toyota in offering incentives, but alot of times, this is a race to the bottom, and the most cashed up normally wins. most cashed up = Toyota, Most who government wont let fail = GM. The winner will be the company with the biggest worldwide geographical spread, and is able to sit out these profit depleting fights. |

because they make it up on the trade in price in three years time. This little gem was explained to me by a US dealer friend a couple of years ago. believe me, most of Ford's vehicles do not have much incentive attached to sales, $1,000 cash here and there is just seed money and dealers usually get it back in options anyway... |
