ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF AUTOMOBILES AND AUTOMOBILE
PARTS INTO THE UNITED STATES
10908
A riveting 12 page read.
It doesn't matter where the car is built as much as what % of the parts were made in the US. This includes parts as well which will hurt as they will be hit with a 25% tariff.
So if 50% of the car or its parts were made in the US than the tariff will apply to 50% of the vehicle cost. Whether the car manufacturers use this to calculate the new MSRP or what they apply to it will remain to be seen.
Good news is the tariff does not apply to cars over 25 years of age so those importing older cars shouldn't have any issues but that too remains to be seen.
On a side note 2 weeks ago I ran my 13 Ford Raptor through Carvana to see what they would offer. The truck was $48k new and they offered me a little over $20k with a retail value at around $29k. I just received a $500 increase to that offer 2 days ago and I expect it will go up. Glad I picked up my 23 Macan and my replacement truck these last 2 months. I suspect we will see a rise in used car pricing just as we did during Covid.
