December 1, 2015 – 8:00 am ET — UPDATED: 12/1/15 11:17 am ET – adds VW, Honda, Toyota
Ford, Nissan, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors all posted modest U.S. sales increases in November as the industry appeared poised to chalk up another strong month.
Nissan Motor Co. rode strong demand for the Rogue crossover to a 3.8 percent increase. At Toyota Motor Corp., volume rose 3.4 percent. FCA extended its streak of monthly advances to 68 with a 3 percent rise. GM was up 1.5 percent, while Ford Motor Co. eked out a 0.3 percent gain.
Volkswagen, citing a stop-sale order on 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter diesel models pending a review by U.S. and California regulators for emissions compliance, said November deliveries dropped 25 percent to 23,882. It is the steepest monthly decline for the VW brand since Sept. 2008.
Honda Motor Co. fell 5 percent o 115,441 vehicles — with Acura plunging 18 percent to 12,244 deliveries.
The increases for major automakers come in comparison to a strong November 2014 that also had two more selling days than last month.
Automakers are releasing their November sales results amid forecasts for a third straight month of a seasonally adjusted annual sales rate above 18 million. A strong November will also push the industry closer to topping the U.S. sales peak of 17.4 million, set in 2000.
Through October, deliveries across the industry rose 5.8 percent to 14.5 million, spurred by rising incentives, record leasing rates, pent-up demand, and favorable financing and credit availability.
Final industry totals for November won’t be known until Wednesday. In an unusual move, Mercedes-Benz said it would delay its release by a day because of a “systems malfunction.”
Automaker tallies
At Fiat Chrysler, deliveries rose 20 percent at Jeep and 0.6 percent at Ram. They dropped 7.5 percent at Dodge, 12 percent at the Chrysler brand and 2.6 percent at Fiat. Overall, FCA’s truck volume rose 11 percent while car sales slid 22 percent.
FCA’s incentives averaged $3,573 last month, an increase of 13 percent over November 2014, TrueCar estimated.
At General Motors, a 4.8 percent rise at Chevrolet offset a 17 percent drop at Buick and the first decline at GMC in a year. Cadillac was up 1.8 percent.
GM’s said its average transaction price hit a record $35,800 last month, up about $740 from October 2015 and an increase of about $580 year over year. The company’s incentive spending was 10 percent of ATP, down 1.6 percentage points from October 2015 and down 1.2 percentage points year over year.
At Nissan, volume rose 3.9 percent at the Nissan brand and 2.6 percent at Infiniti.
Deliveries rose 0.4 percent at the Ford division but slipped 2.4 percent at Lincoln.
Ford said lowered incentive spending prompted a $3,800 boost in average transaction prices compared with a year ago.
“We saw strong customer demand for our cars and SUVs with the latest technology and sold a very rich mix in November,” Mark LaNeve, Ford’s head of U.S. sales and service, said in a statement. “F-Series and commercial vans also were very strong, with an 18 percent gain for the month and our best November sales performance for Ford Trucks in eight years.”
Fiat Chrysler today pegged the November light-vehicle SAAR at 18 million when 400,000 medium- and heavy-duty trucks are stripped out of the company’s 18.4 million forecast.
GM today estimated a SAAR of 18.2 million. Ford President Joe Hinrichs told CNBC today that he’s expecting a November sales rate above 18 million.
If the forecasts hold, it would mark the first time that the SAAR has topped 18 million units three consecutive months.
Overall industry volume is expected to be flat or rise slightly, according to several analysts.
Among other major automakers, the projected gains for November were 2.4 percent at Toyota Motor Corp. and 2.5 percent at Hyundai/Kia, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts.
Jeep sales increased 20 percent to 68,909, the brand’s best U.S. November on record and its 26th-consecutive month of year over year gains.
Holiday deals
Many automakers, like other retailers, launched year-end holiday deals in November.
Automakers spent 6 percent more last month on incentives than they did a year ago, according to TrueCar Inc., a vehicle pricing research firm, with the average discount topping $3,000 a vehicle.
On Monday, Bill Estes, an Indianapolis-area dealer, was advertising $13,500 off a Ford F-150 pickup, $7,000 off the Ford Escape, 20 percent cash back on the Chevrolet Malibu and 0 percent for a 72-month loan on a Chevrolet Silverado.
For several months now, because of weak car demand, some of the best deals have been available on midsize and large sedans, and hybrids.
Among other deals pitched by dealers and automakers at the end of November:
• Up to $4,000 cash back on a 2015 Ford Taurus
• $3,775 off MSRP on a 2015 Nissan Altima
• A 2015 Dodge Dart with $3,000 cash back
• $5,000 cash back on the Nissan Leaf
• $4,000 allowance on Buick Regal
• 20% off the MSRP on a 2015 Buick Lacrosse
• $2,250 or 0% APR for 60 months and $500 cash on the 2015 Toyota Prius.
Rick Glenn, director of internet sales at Findlay Toyota in Henderson, Nev., said the slump in car demand across the U.S. hasn’t been the case in the Las Vegas area. The dealership sold more than 100 Camrys in November and the Prius is “still attractive” to buyers in the region, he said.
But light trucks such as the Toyota Highlander and 4Runner remain hot in southwest Nevada.
Deliveries of the Tacoma, benefitting from $1,750 off the MSRP, have been “on fire,” with Glenn citing advertising that Toyota airs during NFL games on Sunday.
“They hit a home run with the redesigned Tacoma,” he said, adding it was smart to “advertise to that demographic” in the greater Las Vegas region.
