Just spoke with my SA and he echoed what the sales manager stated that this will not affect the deals already made. Really want the 3RS but, even though I could afford the additional cost of a tariff that would, based upon my core values, violate right reason. ADM okay, limited edition so it's the new market reality but ADM + tariff absolutely not. I have been spying some nice Lamborghini's (***on the lot***) if this deal goes belly up.

For those waiting on a delivery what would each of you do if there is a +/- 20% price increase? For me that could be as much as a 50K price increase.......

If this ever takes into effect, it will affect all brands, not only PORSCHE. There's not much anyone can do about it. Hoping new tariffs gets delayed so we can still get our toys at the published and ordered price.
Drive safe,

If tariffs are imposed it will affect all cars entering the US on the effective dates of the tariffs. It doesn't make any difference if you have a signed deal. The tariff will be applied once it enters a US port.

Look at your sales order. Dealer can raise price if PCNA raises price.
There is a policy issue for Porsche. They could absorb it on pre -ordered cars as goodwill but that is a lot of goodwill. I presently have a December build Jan delivery. Hoping that gets advanced as has recently happened w others.
Cheers

Though, I prefer to have things calm down and we get back to a simpler time when we only had to ruminate about whether to ADM or not, and endless configurator permutations.

Just read an article regarding the tariff's on EU cars. They pointed out that Porsche would be most impacted. VW and BMW have plants in the US and Mexico and most of their cars would not be impacted.

VW and BMW's cars that are US assembled have low US parts content, so tariff on parts would also be an issue.
