Top 100 Ford Dealer,Preston Ford, Becomes #1 in Maryland and Delaware

PRESTON, Md. - Jan. 13, 2016 - PRLog -- The Preston Ford team of the Preston Automotive Group blew away the goals once again for the Mission Possible 2015 Sales Drive Event and finished #79 for all Ford dealers in the Nation for the year.  Vice President, David Wilson, Jr. set the goals early to be #1 in the Region & in the top 10 in the Nation for December and to be in the top 85 or better in the Nation for the year.  Preston Ford finished as the #1 Ford dealer in the region and 4th in the nation with a total 502 new Ford sales for the month of December alone.

This accomplishment marks the 5th time in six years that the small-town dealership has been able to reach its Top 100 goal out of nearly 3,300 Ford dealers nationwide.  In 2014, Preston Ford finished 72nd in the nation, outranking the 2013, 2011, and 2010 spots in which they finished 90th, 89th, and 93rd, respectively.

Since 1975, Preston Ford has offered one of the largest Ford inventories on the East Coast, low Ford prices, and one of the best buying experiences any dealership offers. After Ford Motor Company declined to take the government bailout money back in the fall of 2008, Ford restructured and began putting out the best selection of Ford vehicles allowing them to turn around its operations and continue to produce quality products. The restructure aligned with the Core Values of Preston, allowing the group to never lose faith in the Ford product and to be successful year after year.

Preston Ford, which is located on the border of Hurlock and Preston, MD, gained its original customer base out of the 803 approximate population of Preston. By offering a superior customer experience and a generous selection of new Ford products, they are able to reach a far more substantial audience than ever before.  In recent years, online marketing has proven successful in providing buyers from all over the country with up-to-date news on products, specials, vehicle features, and so much more.  Despite our low surrounding population, we achieved the #4 spot in the nation for December, behind Galpin Ford in Los Angeles, CA, Bill Brown Ford outside Detroit, MI, and 5-Star Ford right outside Dallas, TX.

We also sold 264 more vehicles than the next closest dealership for December, which is just unheard of, says David Wilson, Jr., Vice President of Preston Automotive Group.  He states, “Mission Possible: 3 was a huge success and we couldn't have done it without the huge support of our local buyers, as well as non-local buyers who were able to experience Preston Ford for the first time.”

Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs have quickly become one of the most talked about brands in the U.S. over the past few years.  New products made Ford America’s Best Selling Brand again for the sixth straight year.  The F-Series is now America’s best-selling pickup for 39 straight years and the best-selling vehicle for 34 straight years.  The Ford Fusion posted record results for December and Ford brand SUV’s had the best December since 2003, with the Escape, Edge and Explorer contributing to gains.

Because of the success of 2015, we have 650 used vehicles at the dealership.  To welcome 2016, we are having our Surplus Sell-Off sale with specials on many 2015 and 2016 models, including low financing and trade-in assistance available.  For detailed specifics on Preston Ford’s inventory and pricing you can visit our website at http://www.prestonford.com.
