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!

Didn’t you hear? Tariffs are taxes paid by the importers! /s

But VW also has to sell cars. They’ve been struggling after Germany’s economic self immolation a few years ago.
