September Mustang Sales Drop Sharply – 2015 Mustang Anticipation to Blame?

September 2013 Mustang sales dropped sharply by 25% from last month, although the numbers remain flat compared to the same time last year.  The question that is being asked by many is whether the growing anticipation for the 2015 Mustang is having an increasingly large impact on S197 sales and whether Ford is planning to offer a 2014.5 in a few months time to boost sales just prior to the introduction of the 2015 Mustang.

Sales of the Mustang for September of 2013 were 4,420 compared to 4,439 from September of 2012 showing a 0.4% decrease in sales from the previous year. Year to date Mustang sales are 59,165 compared to 66,821 for 2013, which is a 11.5% decrease over the previous year.

Month to Month sales were down considerably as August 2013 sales were 5,866 compared to September 2013 sales of 4,420 which is a 25% decrease.
