2004 Sales

2004 Sales Numbers

Freestar 100,622
Windstar 2,950
Monterey 17,407

Total 120,979 -8% from 2003

2003 Totals 131,449

Thats not suprising, minivans have really lost their popularity to suvs, crossovers, and wagons.

That means I'll find a loaded 2004 Windstar dirt cheap.

Didn't the Freestar repalce the Windstar? Were these 2,954 left over from 2003?

Yes, the last 2003 Windstar was sold in March, 2004.

Yeah, I meant 2003, that's it, that's the ticket...

I think I have to agree with Torino in that the numbers don't look too bad in my opinion since there is a trend towards SUVs now and minivans are becoming rarer.

I am trying to figure out why I don't see too many Freestars on the road.

Somebody forgot to tell Toyota that minivans were out of style, they had a 50% increase in Sienna sales over 2003 to 159,119. The Honda Odyssey was about dead even with 2003 sales, from 154,063 to 154,238 but a redesigned 2005 model will probably lead to an increase this year. Chrysler/Dodge minivans saw increases as well, around 30% from 2003. Nissan sold 46,430 units in 2004 with their new Quest entry.
Kia had a 20% increase in Sedona sales from 2003.

So it looks like the only decreases in sales from 2003 came from GM and Ford even with the redesigned Freestar/Monterey.
