Ford Motor declared Thursday that he was lowering prices on most of his vehicles on the same levels, charged to employees in an attempt to increase the sales of the rates of President Trump on imported cars.
The rates began on Thursday on vehicles imported from Mexico, Canada, Japan, Germany and other countries. The tasks – 25 percent of the value of the vehicle in most cases – should increase the prices of new cars and trucks and dampen the supply.
About half of the vehicles sold in the United States every year are produced in other countries. Mexico is the main source of those cars and Canada is among the largest. For three decades, the United States, Canada and Mexico had a free trade area and the car manufacturers have moved parts and vehicles freely between the three countries.
The new Ford program, which the company calls “from America, to America”, could help reduce a large invented car inventory. In February, Ford had more cars in the inventory measured for how many days they would have wanted to sell them all of everyone except three other brands – Jaguar, Mini and Dodge – according to Cox Automotive, a research company.
Ford’s new discounts apply to all new 2024 and 2025 vehicles, with the exception of the special versions of the broncho sports utility vehicle; the Mustang sports car; Super versions of service of the F series pickups; And some other models.
“Consumers will pay what we pay,” said Rob Kaffl, director of Ford’s US sales and retailers.
The car manufacturer also said that it was extending another program of incentives in which the buyers of new electric models obtain a charger for the house for free, together with the cost of the installation. That offer is now valid until June 30th.
Ford had more than 568,000 inventory vehicles at the end of March, about 8 % compared to a year ago.
