I can't find any evidence of an actual tariff being implemented. I'm thinking it's more of a "easier to sell 'mericuhn made" thing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Now, if we're talking about a premium for trucks that were originally sold in the US (mph speedo, etc) vs Canadian-delivered (km/h, etc), then that is a thing but it's also based on actual costs like speedo conversions for the US importer... If zehnd is selling his Canadian-built trucks to US buyers for a 20% discount because they told him so, I have a bridge to sell him
There is no duty or other tariff on Canadian-built vehicles going into the US.

Actually there is a tariff on Canadian and Mexican made trucks built prior to 07/20 that were sold new in Canada originally if they are exported to the USA to be resold. That means 1, 4 and 5 VINs are safe and 2 and 3 VINs are not. It’s literally just a fallback to the chicken tax from way back.
Doesn’t take long to find a simple article on google: https://canadianautodealer.ca/2020/0...may-be-tricky/

Apologies to zehnd...
Adding to this, manufacturers are cutting hard on features to still pump out vehicles during shortage. GM is removing fucking start stop.

Tesla famously cut lumbar support in their seats without changing price. BMW cut seat massager and lumbar support but discounted the value. I have an order for a new car and am very damn close to cancelling. So far I’ve lost massage seats, arm and center console heaters, rear seat heaters, and today the dashcam feature. Price cut around 5k but god damn the cars getting butchered. Rumors is wireless charging is next, already been cut in lower models.
Might as well just keep my car at this point. Was hoping to beat the luxury tax.

The bright side is, you save $5k, and still able to prove to haters it was fully loaded at time of production vs. being accused of cheaping outThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

They're removing a horrible feature and giving customers a $50 credit for it. Win in my books! Start stop sucks.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

seriously. I'd PAY to have start/stop removed. fuck that EPA/CAFE manipulating bullsheeet.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I don't think it's manipulation, I mean it really does make a difference in fuel economy if you care about such a thing. The difference in fuel economy in rush hour traffic with and without start stop is massive.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You're right tho, classic start stop is terrible in execution.

I am late to this thread, but i was just in Kelowna and met a friend who owns dealerships in Calgary, Leth and Lloyd. Let's just say he has been doing well, as he spends $2k/day in fuel for one of his boats. He mentioned usually he is carrying around $55m in inventory, but that has been reduced to $25m as he has been able to clear out a bunch of stale stock with the manufacturing shortages.
I was offered a trx today at MSRP. Should I take it?
