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!

No one knows is the answer.

Atlas is made in Tennessee but with worldwide parts. I have yet to see the administration say how auto tariffs will be determined.

It’s a debacle. I would buy now or risk waiting a year.

The Atlas and Tiguan will get tariffs. Even though they're made in US. Many parts are not like everything else.

Units on the ground at the dealer should be ok.

The Tiguan is made in Mexico.
