COMMENTS

  • Sales data should be entered on the subsidiary vehicle inventory record.
  • Cars placed in leasing or rental service within the dealership operation should be recorded as inventory transfers at dealer cost, not as fleet sales. New vehicle sales to a separate leasing organization, independent or dealer-owned, should be recorded in this account.
  • Dealers who need to maintain records of gross sales and/or discounts and overallowances on vehicle sales may use one of two methods:
    1. Record gross sales and/or discounts and overallowances as memo items in the New Vehicle Sales Journal, without regard to vehicle line, or
    2. Establish Account 3361, Cost of Sales, Fleet Cars—Ford Motor Co.—Discounts & Overallowances, to which discounts and overallowances should be debited. Gross sales amounts should be credited to Account 3360, Sales—Fleet Cars—Ford Motor Co.
  • Information regarding sales to dealers with an associate sales agreement is contained in instructions issued by Ford Motor Company.
