Weren\u2019t we just recovering from those dismal years of automotive famine?\u00a0 Aren\u2019t we just getting back to full showrooms and ever-so-slightly better price tags?\u00a0 What could possibly throw a wrench into the car-buying world again so soon?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Well, there seems to be a proposed tariff that our president-elect plans to levy on goods imported from Mexico and Canada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And by <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2024\/11\/25\/politics\/trump-tariffs-mexico-canada-china\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tariff,<\/a> we mean an extra hefty twenty-five percent fee on imports.\u00a0 And while that may not seem like a number that could break the bank for an imported shirt or a pair of glasses, it would be hugely impactful on something the size and cost of a vehicle.

In many ways actually.<\/p>\n<p>A considerable number of vehicles manufactured by both European and American companies rely heavily on Mexico and Canada for their production.\u00a0 Volkswagen, for example, maintains one of its largest factories in the city of Puebla, Mexico.\u00a0 It is there that they build several different models for the specific purpose of exporting them to the U.S.\u00a0 Those very popular vehicles include the Jetta, the Taos, and the Tiguan.<\/p>\n<p>And what exactly would more than 84,000 potential buyers do if they could no longer get their hands on their beloved Jeep Compass?\u00a0 In 2024 alone, that\u2019s the ballpark number of folks who purchased that vehicle. And perhaps a similar number of people might suffer the disappointment of an inflated price or even limited stock in the coming year, because the Jeep Compass is manufactured in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24809 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-800x533.jpeg\" alt=\"Factory worker building car\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-800x533.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-1160x773.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-120x80.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-90x60.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-320x213.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-560x373.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-1920x1280.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_183508775-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And what about the 179,000 buyers who chose the Ram pickup truck as their ride of choice this year? Well, if they\u2019ve already gotten their hands on their truck, they\u2019ll be okay.\u00a0 But the potential customers, the people who have been considering the Ram might have to reconsider. They too would be affected by this Mexican-manufactured vehicle import tariff.<\/p>\n<h2>It\u2019s not just Mexico that would bear the burden of the proposed tariff.<\/h2>\n<p>Canada as well would see the twenty-five percent levy, thus impacting their manufacture of both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Dodge Charger.\u00a0 That\u2019s over 59,000 potential minivan buyers and over 21,000 sedan buyers who could face lower inventory and much higher costs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Volkswagen, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, and Dodge vehicle plants that exist in the countries threatened with the tariff, both GM and Ford have got a decent presence in these places as well. The latter two U.S. automotive giants manufacture electric powertrains and assemble EV\u2019s in Mexico and Canada.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So what would all these carmakers have to do in order to avoid getting slapped with the hefty tariff?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, they\u2019d have to move out of Mexico and Canada. Which would mean a number of very big changes. Either they\u2019d have to build brand new plants Stateside, or they\u2019d have to completely revamp existing (albeit defunct) factories to meet modern technology, tool, and manufacturing requirements.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-24807 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-800x448.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-800x448.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-1160x650.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-1536x861.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-2048x1148.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-120x67.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-90x50.jpeg 90w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-320x179.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-560x314.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-1920x1076.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/AdobeStock_887048698-1-scaled.jpeg 780w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/448;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They would also need to transport all the goods that have already been made from our border countries into the U.S., which is no small feat: the machinery, as you can imagine, is neither small nor light.\u00a0 And we can\u2019t forget the human element in all of this.
