Anyone know how they're tackling tariffs?

I've got one ordered at Land Rover Austin... Just waiting for something on how much the price might increase. Right now they said 4 to 6 months until it arrives.

 

An article on CNBC generically stated that JLR would be "splitting" the cost of the tariffs with the customer.

To date, no one knows how they are ‘tackling’ tariffs. Not even the one instituting them. This formula makes it perfectly clear.

 

LOL at the formula. You are right, no one knows!

 

I'm so excited for my first Land Rover. Going to be the longest 6 months of my life waiting for this to arrive.

 

Totally worth the wait!

 

Thought I just heard Trump say he cut a special deal for JLR and Rolls.

 

Apparently, the arrangement is that England can import up to 100,000 vehicles (total, not just JLR) per year with "only" a 10% tariff. Vehicles past that number will still face tariffs of 25%.

JLR probably represents the majority of car imports from England (not sure, who else is there besides Rolls?). Their recent imports totaled a little over 100,000 per year into the U.S., so if they do import the large majority of cars, then the 25% level might not hit too many vehicles. However, they could conceivably take other steps such as reducing the imports of lower-end vehicles to squeeze the most out of their allotment of "only" 10% cars.

A bump in prices should be expected sooner or later. Also, it's plainly clear that this arrangement was totally rushed, and the details could still change.

 

Closed on mine a few days ago, no tariff.
