Ford hasn't told dealers anything. If there are major price increases, will Ford still be offering price protection? We simply don't know yet what Ford will do. Or then what dealers will do.

So, China says it will fight.
I am in the middle of The Twin Cities, Chicago and Des Moines population centers, and South Dakota missile sights. Shiney sky blossoms in all directions.

Oh hey, another tariff topic! (Oops, I should have started a new topic to make this post.)

Saying that they "could" do something is not news. It's pointless speculation.

That would be nice if the tariffs don't apply to vehicles. Because as anyone who knows that's looked at a new vehicle or purchased one recently how overpriced they all are regardless of size or manufacturer.

Had a Hybrid AWD XLT on order at a firm price quote and deposit. Dealer emailed me this AM and price will go up $3,800 so I asked for my deposit back...I was not desperate for the XLT. If I do not get my deposit back quickly, I will be PO'ed.

What we need are people who are now getting their vehicles, after these tariffs have been started, to let us know what their dealers are doing with them. No increase, any increase?

going to depend on how the contract was written and the state you are in. some states require deposits be refundable, no questions asked. also going to depend on the fine print in your agreement.

If a car stealership wants a deposit, WALK. When I purchased my 2023, the first dealer, Molstesd in Charles City IA wanted $500. I walked. The next day, I went to Roling Ford in Shell Rock IA. Exact same truck, ordered with NO markup and NO deposit.
Stealership seem to think THEY are the only game in town. WRONG! YOU have the money. YOU have them by the "short and curlies" as Scotty Kilmer says.
By the way, that signed order is a legal document. SUE THEM.

I work at a dealership.... I don't see any price increase from Ford due to tariffs... yet. So right now that looks like it is that dealer's estimate/decision just to charge more.

If tariffs stay, I certainly expect Ford to raise prices. I just don't see any evidence that that has actually happened yet.

Last price list up updates from Ford for 25 Maverick on Feb 10th.

It's a new tax. If I pre-order tickets for an event in March, and right now my city sales tax is 6% and a new law is passed next week that raises our sales tax to 6.5%, I am paying 6.5% in sales tax if I actually pay for my tickets in April. That company is legally required to charge me the taxes that are due by law.

The dealer wouldn't change the price of the vehicle. And every pre-purchase agreement I've seen estimates what your taxes will be, but those line items aren't final till your purchase itself is made. They have no control over what tax changes may occur between you wanting the vehicle and you buying the vehicle, but they do have to ensure you pay the legal taxes/tariffs on your order when you pay.


So, on your vehicle purchase price, if there is a line item for the new 25% tariff on imported goods, and your vehicle price stays the same, you are still getting the vehicle for the quoted price.
