that's interesting....i know a lot of business people (self included) who would hold off until the last week of december to buy (buying the last week of the month is generally a good idea) i would be very interested to know which vehicles from which the ford dealer was getting sales..... i had a friend tell me recently that despite the horrendous numbers for auto manufacturers, he couldn't get a dealer to work a good deal (he was looking to buy several new utility vans)...he walked away and said he could wait.... when i read that there was a huge trucking company (on this thread, forget the name) that indicated they would not purchase a single vehicle in 09, (fleet of 1500, usually replace 20% annually) i concluded that my friend was probably wise to hold off
