Are you going to purchase at 25% price hike

[dben002]

Who amongst us is going to purchase a new vehicle when the prices jump by 25% or more due to the new tariff fees?

and why the hell does that mean used vehicles will also go up as they have no tariff fee?

I just recently purchased a 2013 Camry with 130K on the clock. I also have a Sorento with 110K and a motorcycle with 3500. I plan to make them last a long time.

If people are priced out of the new car market, demand for quality used cars will skyrocket

Welcome back 1930's

I wish. A cutting edge, American made, V-8 powered, 1932 Ford coupe cost $450 new. That'd be about 10.5K in today's money. Show me something comparable, by any maker in today's market.

I worry if I can find parts, as my very reliable Nissan is North American made, but who knows where the parts will come from. I drove Ford vehicles before 2010 when the last one needed replacement, and the Covid car shortages presented me with a Nissan, or take the bus.

Yet, my local mechanic was getting factory-approved Ford parts only made in Mexico, Brazil, and Canada, because they were old.

This tariff thing is not going to be easy to figure out.

In December 2023 I bought a 2022 Toyota Tacoma with low miles. There was no financing involved; I paid cash. Come to find out my truck and all new Tacomas are assembled in Baja, California south of the US border. Glad I bought when I did; new Tacoma prices are probably going to skyrocket.

Short term problem for long term gain. I can wait it out.

I wont be buyng any new cars for me. I keep fixing the cars \I all ready own.There is been dramatic increase in used vehicles since 2018. People cant afford new ones. The prices of used trucks will shock you. Used Grand Marques, bring twice what they sold for in 18. The Marques are cheap to fix, parts are everywhere, and not hard to find a competent mechanic to repair They run foever. Word gets out about the good cars and they bring higher prices. work trucks are a neccesity. Prices go up on new ones. your not going sell your old one less it will help you get into a new one.

Yep I am gonna buy

Save my money for a new vehicle.

25% isnt fun but not a deal breaker

That is not how tariffs end up working and a 25% increase will not be passed onto the consumers. Trump's tariffs are just tools to actually help create fair trade. America is still dealing with most countries per the Marshall Plan we created after World War 2, when we were trying to help rebuild the economies of war-ravaged countries. Now those countries are long past being rebuilt and America is still getting taken advantage of. Why should a Ford get tariffed going into Germany or France, but one of their cars pay no tarrifs when coming into America?

The Marshall Plan was a U.S.-sponsored program designed to rehabilitate the economies of 17 western and southern European countries in order to create stable conditions in which democratic institutions could survive in the aftermath of World War II. It was formally called the European Recovery Program.

Japan did not receive Marshall Plan aid. Instead, Japan benefited from other forms of U.S. assistance after World War II. The U.S. provided substantial financial support through programs like the Dodge Plan and the Economic Stabilization Program. These initiatives focused on economic recovery and rebuilding infrastructure. The U.S. aimed to stabilize Japan and prevent the spread of communism in Asia. This assistance contributed significantly to Japan's post-war economic miracle, helping the country transition from devastation to a thriving economy.

I cannot flip a channel on the remote without being bombarded by ads screaming $15k off various trucks and SUVs. Trouble is, the list price on those vehicles is nearer $35k over a realistic price that people can actually afford.

My newest is a 2011 328i BMW
My oldest is a 1999 Tahoe with still under 100K.
I can wait it out I think...

The last "new" vehicle i bought was a 2005 tundra. Ain't likely to ever buy another "new" car. All though could be wrong, as far as all new vehicles going up 25% due to tariffs, i find that unlikely.

 

[Narragansett]

My wife wants a new vehicle. Actually she wants to go look today.* years ago we bought her 2016 Camry for 13,500. It now has 86K on it. I may sell my perfect 2015 VW Jetta sport and buy that. It has 200K+ miles left in it.

As for other tariff inflated purchases, I am going to resist. I have most all that I want. What will this do to ammo prices?

 

[moosedog]

Its not going to be 25 percent. Its the art of the negotiations. Our trade partners have had tariffs on us for years. This will bring about negotiations.

I have two Toyota 4Runner's that should last me many years. If I decide to buy a new vehicle I will.

I'm driving a 2012 Ford and it's still running good. I'm staying right where I'm at.
