Willing to pay the price prior to the value increase due to the proposed tax?

and you mean WTB Carmine Red
Yeah, generally someone can still afford it but it's a lot more of a hit. I wouldn't pay 160k + ADM + tax for a GT3. That's 200k before the ADM. ADMs would have to change to outside the purchase price to not be hit with the tax, like mortgages and what happens if the appraisal comes in short (you make up the difference and can't finance it). 35k ADM is now 44k just because of a 25% tax. I don't see how that flies for dealers.

I'll consider Carmine. Send me high quality pics

Ha, mine’s not for sale unless I magically get a .2 allocation. I did get offered a .2RS for 75k over

Of course you would, unless you simply couldn't pay it; you would because all the current $200,000 cars would be $250,000 and the $200,000 GT3 would look like a bargain.

I guess we could all buy the mid-engine C8 Vettes. But then, we could buy better- performing Corvettes right now for a lot less money if we had any sense.

This. Sorry. Tarriff.

Be interesting if that was on top of sales tax.

I suppose you're right. It would enter the couldn't pay territory really fast. I'd buy a corvette but I'm not quite of age. lol.

I can't believe you are clarifying that post based on all your other posts re costs. Anyway I expected you to correct the issue for 10% for aluminum and 25% for steel.

You are showing, admitting to your age.

Tariffs are included in the MSRP and are not billed as a separate add-on item.

From CNN
The United States is also exploring the possibility of putting new tariffs on cars. Last week, the Trump administration announced an investigation into whether automobile imports are hurting US national security, laying the groundwork for another trade fight.

I would leave Reading Comprehension off the skills section of your resume.

You are very good at starting arguments about nothing though.

Most likely due to the enacted GDPR (announcement up top) needing a VPN so you can read/view it.

Clalexio do you mean the car and driver article? Nothing important in there. It's just an artists rendering. They had it listed in the May magazine as one of the top 25 cars they're looking forward to. I believe it was #5. #1 was the new Corvette, #2 was the 992, the next was the Viper and I forgot the other one.
