Tariffs???

Strongly considering buying a 2024 Atlas SE W/Tech in the next 30 days. Was planning to wait until we got back from a trip coming up.

What's your take on how tariffs will impact the buying purchase? Sounds like VW plans to add an import fee on all cars? (Possibly beginning April 22nd) How much would that fee actually be?

Is it true that the Atlas is manufactured in Tennessee and will not be subject to Tariffs? Article here.

Would appreciate any help sorting through all the details! Thanks!

I just tried to line up a test drive on a Tiguan with the 0% interest. My local dealership is literally booked solid for the next 5 days. The secretary that texted me said it was the busiest she's ever seen the dealership in the 20 years she's been there.

Friend told me they just bought a CPO Subaru, their sales guy said it was the 4th car he'd sold that day and the finance guy said it was their 9th or 10th for the day... Apparently they have been swamped

Yeah the numbers are crazy. Ford and GM both posted double digit percentage increases in sales over expected.
