COMMENTS
  • Lease data should be entered on the subsidiary vehicle inventory record.
  • Light trucks placed in leasing or rental service within the dealership operation should be recorded as inventory transfers at dealer cost, not as retail leases. New vehicle sales to a separate leasing organization, independent or dealer-owned, should be recorded in Account 3468, Fleet Light Trucks.
  • Information regarding sales to dealers with an associate sales agreement is contained in instructions issued by Ford Motor Company.
