I dont know too many people who want to pay retail for a 12 month old BF wagon 4 speed on gas.. thats probably why they still have them. They thought the fleet market would pay top dollar for them, only problem is fleet companies dont buy cars that are any older then 3 months from production.. lol. |

The Head Office Car park is full of employee cars Toll compound is full of 'sold' cars. There are SZ Territories waiting Ok to ship (900 odd ?), so the number of cars without homes is just over 3,000. Thus the 18 down days, and the downbalance. NB: Wagon was killed because it was going to be too expensive to make it Euro IV, ie: powertrain, electronics, looms, etc. $20 mil +. An all new wagon would have been $200 - 300 mil. There was NEVER going to be any money for that with Mondeo Wagon available from Europe. |

There is a big difference between putting something down and telling it as it is. |

Yes I agree there is a build up of unsold cars, but not as bad a some seem to make out.. After all the 29th pic clearly shows there was NO inventory problem at the end of Jan.. Ford has been working 3 days a week for the last 3 months.. How many can they have built up over that time building only 3 days a week??? |

You can also focus in & swap between the dates, to see the car colors changing dramatically to note the cars are turning over & not just sitting there!!

You have no idea, seriously. Im not trying to put Ford down, I have close friends that work for Ford Australia and I buy cars manufactured by Ford Australia, on a regular basis. Do you think I want to see the company go bust?? Not likely. |

3000 + is many days of production sitting at Ford considering the number of Down Days they have been having already !! There are many more at dealers. Things aren't good, lets hope for an improvement for the guys that work at FoA. |

It is definitely not 120 days production, BUT, it is enough to warrant 18 more down days. I don't know why people are so upset. The Falcon is not selling because people do not like them anymore. Argue with me all you want but at the end of the day, if the Falcon is so bloody good, then there would not be a whole car park full of the things? If the Falcon dies, it will be because the buying public decided so.

A lot of things have been covered in this thread, everything from the threads intended purpose of job loses to many of you having a better strategy and the key to selling more Falcons than Ford HQ.
One thing we all have in common is wanting Ford Australia succeed some are passionate about this, after 14 pages the thread shifted all over the place for anyone wanting to know the threads intended purpose, it was job loses, read 1st post here. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11328412 Closed
