March 2008 Mustang Sales Figures Released

April 2nd, 2008 by CobraMatt

Mustang sales for March were down again from the previous year although the numbers are starting to pick up for 2008.  From January to February of this year we saw a 15.5% sales increase and now February to March sales have increased 24%.  This is definately some positive news but you have to take it for what it is, the month to month increase is likely due to the seasonal change and warmer weather around the country.  With high gas prices and a so-called recession around the corner sports car purchases will continue to be on the decline as consumers will move into more fuel economy vehicles leaving Mustangs sitting on dealer lots.

Sales of Mustangs for March of 2008 were 10,180 compared to 14,737 from March of 2007 showing a 30.9% drop in sales from the previous year. Year to date sales for 2008 Mustangs are 24,477 compared to 34,573 for the first three months of 2007, which is a 29.2% drop.
