Yep, and if you cross the Sabine to get the same vehicle in Texas because it's $5k less, you gonna get taxed on that savings if you want to register it in Louisiana.
Texas vehicle sales tax is 6.5%, Louisiana is 4%. You pay the difference if the out of state is lower.
In AL it’s 2%. I bought my last vehicle in mobile. I paid the 2% there and 2% here once registered.

This is one of the reasons why populism sucks. Do we really want top-down pricing just to prop up a policy decision?
Well money printing has destroyed the value of the dollar, housing is unaffordable for young people, marriage rates are in the dump, birth rates are in the dump....but if we deviate from the same thing weve been doing to do *insert scary political term* its a huge mistake!!

Why? I asked you for specifics and you couldn’t muster a single thing. Clearly you have no clue.

So you're completely fine with govt agencies contacting and advising you to modify your business practicing and pricing, right?
I don't think you quite understand the principles of capitalism, domestic supply & demand dynamics, and constitutional independence & freedom of Americans to run business the way THEY want to.
Federal and State czar-wannabes need to stay in their lane (or do you disagree?)

Quit being deliberately obtuse.
Sure, nobody here has enough knowledge of what levers may exist within that industry that the government can pull, just like I wasn't aware of the levers that Ron Desantis had at his disposal to use the state government of Florida to punish Disney for criticizing one of his policies back a few years ago, but that didn't mean they didn't exist.
You didn't know enough about it to predict that nor did anybody else outside of that sphere.
Just because nobody can predict it doesn't mean it's not possible or even likely.
Honestly I don't think Trump will do anything but blame the companies for prices going up to deflect blame from himself, which is more than enough for me, but just because he can't tell you exactly what recriminations might happen proves exactly nothing.

Even King Canute knew he could not control the tides. Trump is not going declare inflation away from the bottom line of automobile manufactures. They will price their cars with what it takes to make the profits they are aiming to make.
Trump is right to try and get manufacturing back in the US. He is wrong on trying to tell a business what they can make or what they can charge.

Asking for specifics is the opposite of being obtuse.

So pure speculation. Fearmongering. Got it.

I’m fine with trump saying on a phone call, “the White House would look down on you raising prices because we implemented tariffs.”

You should crack open the tax code if you think we have anything that resembles what you describe.

Oh hell! The USA is and always has been a socialist nation until Flats, Roger, wackmypenis came along to liberate us into "free trade".
Thank God for people like you guys.

That seems to be something they never address. They scream "that's marxist" yet can not rectify that with the US from it's inception.
Started a thread based on Oren Cass, a conservative economist, and all they could do is basically not respond to the content, but throw names.
It's telling.

You're ok with this? So what exactly are the consequences of “the White House would look down on you"?
It seems more of a thinly veiled threat then just a mere suggestion.
It is patently naive to believe that the inference is not a threat.
Govt (Trump in this case) exerting pressure for business to adjust and modify product/service pricing is actually fundamentally anti-"MAGA" in practice and policy. (Reading between the lines: 'Don't make us look bad. Nice business ya got there...")

Dealers are already advertising pre tariff sales. Dealers will use tariffs to raise prices,

Absolutely. The White House has every right to make their preferred policy known.

Threat of what, specifically?

You should crack open the tax code if you don’t think government influences private business.

And adjust accordingly to Costs, Supply & Demand. The way it's always been.

Are you at all familiar with how spiteful govt bureaucracies works? By whatever powers to control regulations and laws of course (targeted upon non-complaint businesses.)
