  • waiving tarrifs targeted incentive on cars

    From Matt Munson@1:103/705 to All on Fri May 8 13:20:02 2026
    We should waive tarriffs on non-Chineese cars under a certain price to help promote affordablity. If you sell a car under 24 thousand, tarrifs would be waived.

    Good idea, but aren't American cars usually cheaper? (We're talking about brand new, right?)

    Most cars are expensive.
    Lets look at the models I wanted to get if I was able to afford another 50/mo in payments.

    k4 hatchback kia 2026 - 25590

    chevorlet trax 2026 - 24995

    Kia Germany offers the K4 for 29,000 Euros with the manual transmission, automatic transmission is another 2000 Euros (making it 36,000 US-$). Are those 26,000 without taxes? Or is it a completely different car?

    You cannot get a Dacia Jogger, I reckon. It's 18,000 Euros (21,000 US-$) here for the gasoline version as well as the LPG one - including taxes.

    Compared to Chineese cars, rest of the world cars are generally expensive.
