Shoot. My 2025 Camry XSE cost $40k. A 25% tariff on it would have made the car $50k. And it could go up further than that: 40% of a new car’s price is the cost of the computer chips that run it. Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent has threatened tariffs on imported computer chips. Until TSMC and Intel get their plants built, damn near every processor will be imported. So, there’s potentially an even bigger increase than what is being discussed.
