Sales of the Ford Mustang continue to outpace last year’s numbers with the pony car seeing an 11.7 percent gain in the month of August compared to 2011. Although dealerships moved just 6,387 units last month – the second lowest tally in 2012 – it was still a significant improved compared to the 5,718 Mustangs sold in August of last year. In total Ford has netted 62,382 Mustang sales so far in 2012, a 21 percent increase compared to the 51,564 sold at this same time last year. Expect to see even lower figures over the next few months in the Fall when the Mustang historically has relatively slow sales.

Both the Escape and Fusion posted their best August numbers ever, up 37 and 21 percent respectively. Ford Focus sales were also up 35 percent compared to last year, and the F-Series had its best sales month so far in 2012.
