Chrysler sales down 35% in October; rebates up to $6,000

Chrysler LLC today announced its U.S. sales dropped 35% in October compared to a year ago.

The Auburn Hills automaker sold 94,530 cars and trucks in October, the company said.

The automaker attributed the decline to conditions of the overall industry and a reduction in fleet sales.

“While October was a very tough month for everyone in this business, we as an industry must focus on the fact that there are still many serious car buyers out there, and every company has an equal opportunity to win their business,” Jim Press, a Chrysler vice chairman and president, said in a statement.

In November, Chrysler said, it will be offering an aggressive sales incentive program, including cash rebates of up to $6,000.

Chrysler sales so far this year are down 26% compared to last year.
