I don't know about you but I have been anxiously awaiting May's sales figures for a few reasons. The first being May is the first full month 2010 Mustangs have been sold at dealerships which should give us a good preview of what sales will be like in the coming Summer months. Another being how well the Mustang is selling with the increased price over last years models. In the sales figures below you will see Mustang sales are strong and the increased price in this down economy has had little affect on buyers. Sales of Ford Mustangs for May of 2009 were 8,812 compared to 9,633 from April of 2008 showing a 8.5% decrease in sales from the previous year. Year to date Mustang sales are 26,156 compared to 44,160 for 2008, which is a 40.8% drop.
Month to Month sales showed more improvement, April 2009 sales were 7,699 compared to May 2009 sales of 8,812 which is a 14.4% increase for month to month sales. Not as much as lasts months 48% increase month to month sales but its a nice healthy increase to build on.
