Same here! Had a ‘25 on order but it was taking too long, so I traveled 500 miles away for the one I wanted and drove it home to Detroit. So glad I did (and I love my Maverick!)
Yeah, businesses aren’t going to wait for actual vehicles with parts that include the cost of the tariff’s. When they can jack up the prices early and take advantage of the truly stupid.
When Trump was elected my wife and I immediately put both our Smart cars in the shop for everything that could possibly be found that needed repair or might need it in the near future, because we knew tariffs would shoot up the price of car repairs.
a sixth time bankruptcy president $80,000 instantly became a hundred thousand dollars Ground zero for impacts on the tarrifs. Such a great business man
That’s just price gouging, that truck was already here before and didn’t get hit with tariffs, I would never buy from that dealer. If this is even true and not made up for the story.
It’s the same business model as the oil companies use. Crude futures rise and retail gas goes up immediately. Tariffs announced and retail prices go up immediately. I so tired of winning
We saw that coming, but I didn't think it would be that quick. I personally thought it would have taken at least a week 🤷
I feel shitty for all the auto workers and thousands of others effected by this who will be losing their jobs on both sides of the border, for no reason at all.

I will never understand why some american union workers would support a right wing anti-union party?
They support a person who is a vocal advocate for anti-union initiatives, despises unions and union workers.
I don't get it?
This logic doesn’t really make sense. Why did THAT truck increase $20k if it’s already on the lot? New cars yes, but existing cars should still be selling at current prices. If not, then the dealer is marking them up and hoping suckers pay the extra cost
So an American made truck that’s already been built and paid for by the dealer suddenly went up 20%? Even the dumbest people must know that’s not how this works.
Every business which imports will use that excuse. It's price-gouging.
Oil companies are especially egregious: Price went up, gas prices go up two microseconds later. Price goes down, well we need to work out all the gas we bought at the higher price first.
It's been price gouging since the end of Covid but Joe Biden and Kamala Harris didn't want to call out Wall Street/Corporate America on it.
Biting the hand that feeds them.
On Fox?Been around maga acquaintances, they will deliberately buy that truck (even thought they can’t afford it) just to lie and defend him. “See, trump is doing great because I can afford this $100K truck. Also, my 401K has never been this great!”
Not exactly true. If the truck is sitting on the lot, it shouldn't be subject to the new tariffs. However that doesn't mean a dealer can jack the price and try and blame it on the tariffs. Now the one purchased today from the manufacturer would be subject to the tariffs.
But wait! According to Maria everyone in the UK and India will be buying them once Dodge gets off its ass and builds a multi-million dollar manufacturing plant here in the USA! And all the auto parts manufacturers build their manufacturing plants too!
Swasticars stuff lately everywhere but that’s racist and insulting to Hindus and other religions
Hitlers was the hakenkreuz
It’s NOT Svastika which is a sacred symbol in the Hindu religion.
I’m gonna have to buy a cart and donkey at this rate. Probably better as I’m sure gas prices are gonna go up. And it will fit nicely with our new shit hole country vibe.

Sidenote: who tf would pay $80,000 for a Ram?
It's built in Mexico.
The orange clown isn't playing 4d chess or 10-moves-ahead like he thinks. Delusional, insane and horrifying.

Hope they enjoy grocery shopping and filling up. BTW: guns and ammo will likely go up as well.
The majority of Congress Dems worked for Americans.
