Ford sales fall 5 percent in April[ (also Jag/Volvo/Lincoln)

Ford sales fall 5 percent in April
Tuesday, May 3, 2005
BY SARAH KARUSH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ford Motor Co. said Tuesday its April new-vehicle sales fell 5.1 percent, largely because of a decline in less profitable fleet sales.
Sales of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury brand cars were off 2.4 percent from April 2004, while truck sales fell 6.4 percent. Ford said the decline in truck sales was due to lower sales of traditional sport utility vehicles, while crossovers and full-size pickups saw increased demand.
Sales percentages are adjusted for differences in the number of selling days. There were 27 selling days in April 2005 and 26 in April 2004.
Despite the drop in overall sales, the nation's second-largest automaker reported a bright spot -- an increase in retail sales, or cars and trucks sold to customers at dealerships. In contrast, fleet includes sales to businesses such as rental car companies.
The Mustang continued its galloping pace with sales of 19,559 -- the highest April sales for the pony car since 1980, Ford said.
"Right now, the only thing keeping Mustang at bay is lack of inventory," said Steve Lyons, vice president for North American marketing, sales and service. He estimated Ford dealers had fewer than 13,000 Mustangs in stock at the end of April.
Ford also reported strong demand for its new sedans, the Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego, and for the Ford Freestyle crossover utility. Combined sales for the three vehicles exceeded 18,000 for the first time, the company said.
Ford shares were up 18 cents to $9.40 in early afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Ford said last month it earned $1.2 billion in the first quarter, down from $1.95 billion the year before. The company also predicted a tough second quarter, with earnings ranging from break-even to a loss of 15 cents a share, and cut its second-quarter production plans 3.7 percent to 905,000 vehicles.
