Of the top 10 brands, only 4 posted sales increases, with Ford leading the charge.
Toyota 21,490 -3.7% Ford 8890 +12.6% Mazda 8263 -2.3% Kia 6903 +6.0% Hyundai 6211 -4.6% Mitsubishi 5516 +11.2% Isuzu Ute 3924 -16.7% MG 3561 -33.7% Nissan 3376 -20.2% GWM 3148 +9.4% Now that the new model has arrived, Mustang is back at the top of the sports car class. By some margin too, most likely from press vehicles for the media launch. Sports cars under $80,000: Ford Mustang (296), Mazda MX-5 (81), Subaru BRZ (67)

The teething issues only hit the official Ford import. There are a few other importers who have been selling F150s long before Ford decided to get in on the action.

Were those importer sales ever captured on Vfacts? I don’t remember seeing F150 numbers before Ford started selling them.

Now that Ford imports them, I'm pretty sure the private importer cannot. Unless they're unique models (like a single cab or a Raptor)

Ram is really feeling not having that entry level model below $100k anymore.

I also wonder how the RAM will go once they drop the Hemi V8, which is on the horizon to be phased out for the Hurricane inline 6.

Looking at the breakdown in the sales figures and Ford actually was number 1 in 4 segments.
*4x4 utes - Ranger *Large SUV under 80k - Everest *Large Pick ups - F150 *Sports Car under 80k - Mustang Solid numbers imho and second only to Toyota..

"New-car sales have hit the brakes for the second time in three months"
"Our economy grew a modest 0.2 per cent in the June quarter 2024 and 1.5 per cent over the 2023-24 financial year. While this was the eleventh consecutive quarter of GDP growth, it was the sixth consecutive quarter of GDP per capita falls (total GDP divided by the population of Australia). Over the year GDP per capita fell 1.0 per cent." Recession coming?

Harrison’s still sell them also. And if you want Coyote powered F150, you still get get them through private importers.

Absolutely. I looked at one medium rural dealers stock and they had 19 Raptors in stock. The big boys would have even more. You should be able to buy a new one with a price starting with an 8. Ford has flooded the market with them and as a result their value is plummeting. They are still selling at a reasonable rate but there’s just too many. |

I think the whole idea is to have stock on hand for impulse buyers who walk into dealerships, you’d be surprised how many go on leases so the payments are a business deduction And those discounted ones could be a couple registered by dealership with very low kms. In other words, don’t be surprised if the discount is coming from a reduction in tax paid. Also, I agree that perhaps that 12 month wait on Raptors is a thing of the past as there’s so many around and yet Ford continues to have strong Ranger and Everest sales. Will be intersting to see how things pan out up to Christmas. Curious to see how new Everest Tremor sells, I’m thinking Ford has done its research right.

My dealer has decent stock of ranger in general. Bi-turbo they have most models. V6 they have XLT and Sport easily available. Wildtrak V6 isnt too bad either (they have 1 right now unsold) and they have 2 Platinum available. With more coming. That was only a few days ago when I ran into my salesman whilst in for a service... Probably speaks more to Ford becoming better at supplying them any sort of huge downturn in sales.

There's more car enthusiast apprentice electricians than there were mechanics and auto electricians, maybe its the much higher wages Two of them have current model Raptors, couple Jap imports as well in the car park. |

I would not trust a Gen Z in a SS or XR6T at all. They seem to struggle with the basics of everything as reported in every medium you can think of

Shame the Tremor only comes in a bunch of depressing colours.
