Hello all. Do you think the incoming tariffs are going to affect vehicle prices? My wife and I were going to buy a new car in the next 6 months. Should we just do it now? Is there any shot they actually get cheaper?

[CBear3]

I can't imagine they get cheaper, and it feels like everybody has low interest specials still going on if your financing. I'd pull the trigger now rather than later. I wish I was in a position to pull the trigger on an electric car, because the newer tax incentives will probably disappear.

Washed my car again today. I'm liking the Opti Clean waterless wash, but I need to find something better than the Eagle Edgeless microfibers that I have. They just do not do a great job, and I have to go over parts of the car with my Optimum towel to clean it up.

Just buy a Tesla Model Y. It's the most-American-made car, so tariffs won't affect the price.

A lot of Japanese/German cars are made in the USA so they wouldn't be subjected to tariffs. Also, cars made in Mexico would be tariff free due to whatever NAFTA is called now.

Wait you mean goods produced in America by American workers who pay American taxes won't cost more? Hmph.

What are you looking at? We gotta live vicariously through your purchase.

Not sure what point you are trying to make, but I was responding to concerns that tariffs on imports of cars would increase car prices.

We’re in the same boat as Pavel. Looking to get a hybrid F150 and a camper. Want to be more like you, mac

Something 3rd row. Probably a Toyota.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Tariffs can lead to a higher prices for American made goods too.
If company A is an American company that was charging $5 but only making a $1 profit prior to the tariffs because foreign company B was charging the same amount but able to make a $2 profit because of lower labor costs, now if the tariffs cause foreign company B to raise their price to $7 in order to make the same profit, company A can now raise their price too as to be at the same price.

How many kids do you have?

[NTP66]

Just one, but he wants them far away in the car.

And their material prices will still go up

True.

Crazy that tariffs and fluoride in the municipal drinking water are big 2024 issues.

Two. The Forester we have is perfect most of the time. However once friends/cousins/anyone else gets involved it’s painfully inconvenient.

Bring back bench seating.

If you want to tow a camper don't get a hybrid lol. If you must get a Ford an Ecoboost is your best bet but I also own an ecoboost and never again.

Grand Highlander Hybrid would be a top pick for me if I was looking.

I'd get a Sienna minivan. Tons of space, great fuel economy (every Sienna is now a hybrid), five-star NHTSA safety rating, and an interior that's like a lounge on wheels.

Bench seating in the second row?

[Shyster]

Bench seating in the second row?

No, it's captain's chairs. But the Limited and Platinum trims have reclining second-row seats with pop-up footrests.

That sounds fancy.

What’s wrong with the hybrid F150? Our neighbor has one and he loves it. Uses it for pulling a camper as well

[Shyster]

It could be fancier. Overseas markets get the Lexus LM (based on the JDM Toyota Alphard), which can be kitted out in full limo style. I bet some of you parents wish you could roll up a soundproof window to block out the back seats.
