Not related to the article but there was a news report on TV from a local news station. They were interviewing a car lot manager. They just sold a $100,000 car. They were sweating because they didn’t know if they could get it on the ship from overseas before the tariff hit. If they couldn’t , the cost of that vehicle, they estimated 120,000. And the dealership was gonna have to eat the20 grand. Because the contract was already signed.

Man, the u pick it car dumps are gonna be very upset about this.
That's okay. Trump wants us buying US-made. A 2014 Equinox with 178,000 miles, no history of oil changes, yellowed headlights, permanent nicotine-stained interior, and missing fenders is basically the same thing as a 2025 Land Rover. The rich will adapt to these tarrifs.
That sounds loads better than a ~~smart~~ spying car
Bold of you to assume any American-made cars even tun after 10 years.
I feel personally attacked
Now imagine having to get one repaired and finding the parts on indefinite backorder unless you pay.
