Given the current financial problems with the Ford Company, would now be a good time to catch some great deals on new & used Ford cars?

ABSOLUTELY! Great incentives for so early in the year while the selection is good!
The import-lovers are saying there is no good time for a Ford, but I can assure you, you CANNOT go wrong with a Ford Fusion or a Mercury Milan. GREAT products that hands-down beat the Camry and Accord. Don't believe me? Go to Edmunds.com and check recall numbers:
Milan/Fusion: ZERO recalls, only 2 TSB's,
Camry: ONE recall, NINE TSB's,
Accord: FIVE recalls, TEN TSB's.
TSB's are Technical Service Bulletins. They are usually the prelude to RECALLS, or are problems occuring often enough for concern, but might not be a safety issue. They do however reveal a lot about the quality of the vehicle.
PLUS, Fusion and Milan made Consumer Reports MOST RELIABLE top 5! CAMRY DID NOT. And only the Honda Accord 4 cylinder made it of the big guys. Other places to look for this car's incredible results are Car & Driver and Detroit Auto News. All document the Milan/Fusion's dominance in this market.
These stats show the quality of these vehicles. Do NOT fall victim to everyone's "PERCEIVED" idea of imports always beating the domestics. Imports make some great products, and they make some marginal and poor products as well. So does Ford, Honda and every other manufacturer. Except Chrysler which did not have ONE SINGLE vehicle on Consumer Reports most reliable list. Although the Chrysler 300 did win LEAST RELIABLE.
Sorry, I kind of got off the subject of your question. YES, it's a great time to buy. Ford is serious about reclaiming their lost market share in 2007. They're doing so by offering VERY aggressive incentives right from the gates. Just look at the F-150 leases right now! I get free demos and I'm even tempted to lease a crew cab F150 for the stupid payments they're offering right now!
GO FOR IT! GREAT TIME TO BUY! I've not seen incentives this big so early in the year! You'll be able to get a great deal AND get the car you want. Since many times when the incentives grow this large, the selection is slim. So you have to settle for a car that might not be the ideal one you had in mind.

good day dude, i'm ex-army myself. As for the motor vehicle or form, it won't rely who they promote with or what group they objective. you're taking a small ingredient of Ford's merchandising funds and making a huge deal out of it. What approximately each and all of the money Ford spends on Juvenile Diabetes? might you end paying for Ford's because of the fact they help ill teenagers? challenge extra concerning to the product itself, than somewhat of one small element of the industry. staggering now Ford is making an attempt to hit each and all of the bases and sell to whoever they might. it rather is properly, considering terrific this moment Toyota handed Ford for the #2 spot in revenues contained in the U. S.. With that strategies-set, Toyota would be #a million by way of the top of the 300 and sixty 5 days. i comprehend that there are different communities boycotting Ford considering they have carried out some gay merchandising. i think of the ethical majority is taken into consideration one of them, yet i'm uncertain approximately that. I used to artwork at Ford, now i've got had to take an early retirement equipment so as that i might desire to maintain my assurance. Please proceed to purchase Fords, in case you like the products. take a examine out the recent area that Ford has got here out with. good success, mate.

Yeah, but not until 2008 when their "fuel-efficient and cost-efficient" vehicles come out.
