Ford hikes prices on Mexico-produced models, citing tariffs

[DarkHorseRunning]

was it $36k out the door with tax and all fees?

Yup. It had a leaky tire, but even putting new shoes on it, it’s still a good deal. Only had 10,300 miles on it, too!

better get these new ones before the Trump Tariffs set in next month

I'm wondering if Ford will be able to sell Mexican vehicles in Canada without incurring any tariffs?

a bit over three years or until the orange cretin strokes out.

Your bias is showing when you use such derogatory terms like orange cretin to refer to our president, even if there is some subjective basis for doing so. Try to be more accurate and less hysterical if you want to be taken seriously. Since he actually is a bloviating, self-aggrandizing, angry, retrograde xenophobe, why don't you try using this description when referring to the convicted felon?

Actually, 34 felonies, so 34 times convicted felon would be more accurate. However, New Jersey has seen fit to let him keep his liquor license ?

Unfortunately, no word on whether Ford will be able to sell Mexican-made cars in Canada without a tariff price increase, in this article.

Ok, that seems confusing - why would anyone have to pay a US tariff for a Mexican-made product sold in Canada ? The only plausible scenario I could come up with would be if the product was “imported” to the US, then sold to a Canadian entity. Even in that case, the US importer would pay the US tariff. They would then set whatever price they wanted on the product when selling it to the Canadian entity.
Of course, I wouldn’t put it past the Mango Mussolini and his minions to try to find a way to impose US tariffs on Canadians.

Because it’s made by a US company? But in this case they would pay a Canadian tariff.

Probably the same reason that Chinese cars built in Mexico would still get that 100% tariff that Biden approved last year.

Who knows though? It’s all still being sorted out.

Probably because it has to travel across the US/Mexico border to reach Canada. And I haven’t been following if Canada imposed any reciprocal tariffs for US imports.

I would assume any products destined for Canada even though they cross into the US first will not have tariffs slapped on.

So, if a Mexican product is sold in the UK, would the British import the have to pay US tariffs? It makes no sense.

That’s the opposite of what I’m saying.

Tariffs are charged by the destination country.

The UK would determine the tariff in your example.

Yeah I'm thinking in the rest of the world where they have more/less normal political leader and govts. and tariffs are reasonable that this wouldn't be an issue with countries other than the US.

On which planet do these so called “normal leaders and governments” exist? ?

Goods coming via the US from Mexico to Canada are merely passing through and not subject to any form of taxation for the goods. Same as Mexican mangoes at the supermarket.
It depends as noted in the rules of what the Canadian government wants to charge Canadians for any US parts in the Mexican assembled vehicle.
