At least F could put in fold-down-seats for these new customers, as if they chose to live in their car (so as to make car payments instead of apartments, etc.)? If F is 'straight-head!' into sub-prime land, at least they should visualize if their new customers can be 'assisted' to live in their vehicles as a method of encouraging them to keep up their payments?
Can one also imagine a steady stream of Ford sub-prime contract cars and trucks traveling silently in the night to off-shoring 3rd and fourth world customers 'delivers'? Once inside a sovereign nations USA-dock compound, they are 'its legal national property', so to speak.
F better get into the smart business of including legal status and crime
data backgrounds, via third party vendor that F can deny having any legal problems thereof?
Question: if things get hot overseas . . . will F get military contracts?
Not in F yet, as waiting to observe how southwest flood vehicles contracts evolve. Maybe F get tax-write-down for 'problems' therein?
So F is going to going to sell more vehicles to Fence patrol?
Saw some talk that auto companies having to dump their inventory for 50-70% from full retail pricing.
Petrol prices go up from flooding of refiners . . . that should really push F to higher prices, as all these newbie credit customers can sure afford that on 'their credit cards?
Also, we get bad winter snow-ice storms and lots of travel and car buying coming to a town near you?
