Filed under: Car Buying, SUVs, Trucks/Pickups, Marketing/Advertising, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Ford's June sales were down 8.2% vs. the same month in 2006, but retail sales were actually up slightly for the first time since last October. A key to the added dealer traffic was the 0% financing available on all 2007 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, with an additional $2,007 going towards trucks and SUVs.
