Agree. New car price increases should also "pull" the used car prices up. So, if you gotta car to trade in, not a catastrophe. The difference is apprx. the same. .02
It would not be so bad if it were just vehicles. It will be pretty much everything.
Ouch!
Ouch!
Hey, in the end we will all be better off, correct?
Will this result in parts being made in the USA?
And pretty much everything started becoming more expensive starting around 1971. I'll leave it to y'all to figure out why.
It's not about past or present administrations. Inflation is the financial game that allows the country to pay its bills. Paying back old debt with cheaper money. Income, sales, and property taxes all increase with inflation. Inflation is a debt eraser and money maker - for some.

A lot of companies are starting to invest back in the USA. Several global companies are already making commitments to build here and create American jobs. It's about time.
Perhaps but then the morons will be complaining about inflation because of how expensive a brake rotor is for their hooptie.
Morons ALWAYS find something to complain about...
I'm old enough to remember when offshoring gained a full head of steam. Fortunately I had an engineering career that was unaffected by offshoring - at the time at least.
I vividly remember the offshore proponents saying how America should ship blue collar jobs offshore, but how we'd keep the high paying white collar jobs. The factory workers who got riffed could take up computer programming. Those words were actually said.
That didn't work because it overlooked the individual's workplace abilities, their education and training, where they lived, etc. The irony is that over time many engineering jobs have been offshored as well. Who would have imagined the jobs we wanted to keep would eventually be offshored to lower cost areas?! (sarcasm).

Stupid people will always complain.
There is a recent article that said that car prices going up to subsidize for EV cars.
Those EV tax credit have to come from other source and they are not free.
The tariff will force the car manufacturer and other manufacturer like Semiconductor, to turn up production in the US plants.
All they have to do is just increase the input so they got more output because they have the capacity.
That has been what happened in Europe for a long time.
A lot of companies have plant in Europe so they don't have to pay tariff.

25% on a new car is a lot more than 25% on a used car usually!
Probably if you are in the market for a new car in the next few months, you might want to get it real soon before anyone can actually figure out what tariff applies to what vehicle, or percentage of which vehicle.... And if they are actually going to be able to build anything in N.A. for a while without the AC system costing $5000....
In before the lock. 
Look I am going to leave the political side alone I am just hoping for parts that arent made out of radioactive waste and hammered washing machine parts.In before the lock.
I get it. But whenever we have a thread on a subject that walks the line, there will always be those that step over that line. Just look above. At least this time, it took more than the first 5 posts . . . but not by much.
Semiconductor Manufacturing left the US a long time ago.
