Friendly Ford announces sale

Today Friendly Ford kicks off its year-end sales event, which allows buyers to purchase cars, trucks, SUVs and crossovers at discounted prices.

"Ford has surpassed the quality of Honda and Toyota," said Ed Olliges, owner and operator of Friendly Ford since 1970. "I have sold, serviced and driven Fords for over 50 years and, in my opinion, today's Fords are the finest vehicles that have ever rolled off Ford's assembly line."

With the support of the Ford Motor Co. and Ford Motor Credit, this event aims to heat up Black Friday, which is traditionally the busiest shopping day and weekend of the year.

DRIVE QUALITY

Ford has more trucks on the road with 250,000 miles than any other brand, and Ford F-Series and Flex are rated as two of the 10 best new cars of 2009 by Business Week magazine.

DRIVE SMART

Ford was the first in the industry to introduce voice-activated SYNC technology. Ford's next-generation navigation system with SIRIUS Travel Link lets you access real-time updates on travel information and other conveniences while you're on the road. And Ford Work Solutions makes the hardest-working trucks even harder by performing incredible feats ... like finding your tools when even you can't. Every Ford vehicle passes as many as 30,000 virtual tests before a single car is produced.

DRIVE SAFETY

Ford has earned more International Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Picks than any other manufacturer. The government has given Ford the most five-star safety ratings, and Ford has introduced collision-warning technology that is designed to help alert drivers when they are in danger of crashing.

DRIVE GREEN

When it comes to being green, Ford is leaving a smaller carbon footprint -- with a big impact. The Ford Escape Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient SUV in the world; the 2010 Fusion Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in America; and Ford's Eco-Boost engines reduce carbon emissions, keeping Ford on the road to the future.

Locally, Friendly Ford has seen a resurgence in auto sales in the past few months and that is primarily due to the quality of the Ford brand and a the resiliency of the people of Southern Nevada.
