If you're planning to build anything or purchase a new vehicle (among many other things) in the coming months, I'd highly recommend attempting to lock in prices today.

Probably wouldn't hurt to fill up your gas tank either.

How will this effect vehicles assembled in the US?

Plenty more sixpackers more knowledgeable on the subject than me, but I do know many components come from Canada and (especially) Mexico for cars assembled here.

A lot of the parts for the vehicle are produced outside the US.

Mexico will be hurt by tariffs for sure. But the good thing is they don't have the suffocating regulations that US companies deal with.

So a Republican is raising taxes by the stroke of a pen. Make no mistake these are taxes that WE pay. Mexico and Canada won't pay one dime of this.

That would make a good slogan - "No regulations, but don't drink water!"

You could've just said "I don't know how these tariffs work" and saved some keystrokes.

Great, another thread is about to get locked.

Effective 3/1. They'll go back and forth. Nothing substantial will happen. He will beat his chest, republicans will suck an orange dick, and democrats will say he got played.

This mean it will be better for automakers to assemble vehicles and manufacture parts sold in the US in the US?
