Need advice from anyone with a better handle on tariff implications than I have. I have an expiring lease. Looking at BMW, AUDI, PORSCHE primarily. Have no clue if it would be a huge mistake to go with those makers with tariffs looming. Also thinking i may have missed the window before prices increase. Dealers all seem to be in holding patterns now that we’ve crossed into April. Any advice or takes are appreciated.

Don’t know if you are looking at BMW SUVs but they will be exempt. They are built entirely in South Carolina.

BMW announced that they’re eating the cost of the tariffed parts that go into the assembly of those BMWs?

Audi just announced a pause on imports.

A lot of volatility in the market right now as everyone is in a weight and see if tariffs stick - which will cause necessary price increases. Your best bet if you have a near term need is to look for poor selling inventory that manufacturers or dealers need to move regardless. Maybe an EV for example.

It’s hard to tell who will be hurt least by impending tariffs due to current inclusion of car parts in planned tariffs, not just whole vehicles. If you are actually cost conscious, then you will switch to a cheaper brand when the time comes. Otherwise, pony up 🫡
