You may bitch and moan but you don't speak for everyone or even the majority that voted.

Lots of other countries outside of the EU make cars, as good as German cars.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Cars from America or Japan will rise in price as well purely because the pound has fallen quite a bit. As I understand it the bigger problems come from mass movement of materials rather than the end price of an item sold direct to a consumer.

It's served it's purpose in getting some clarity from the Government and involving Parliament.

What problems in NI are you referring too? The border or the courts?

It's possible that they will absorb some of the increased costs, it depends on how competitive the market is. For its App store, Apple recently increased prices by 25% but not all companies will be able to push through such increases.
If the UK was able to sign a free trade deal with say a country like South Africa or Malaysia, it's possible that the UK could be supplied by those countries instead. Multinationals like GM and BMW have a bit of flexibility here.
I guess another issue is how price-sensitive buyers or leasers are. Corporate buyers may be more reluctant to take on increased costs when they are already facing other increased costs.

Well, my German car will be going. It's the British thing to do. A Tesla from our American cousins would be nice. Model 3 out at the end of the year .

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Cars from outside the EU should get cheaper if we can cut the tariffs on them.

I'm loving my Japanese built Mitsubishi. BMW's are for wide boys.

What I think will be interesting is do we have to deal with the EU as a whole or can we work with individual countries within the EU. This will be the fun side of things, especially with some of the other members who are less happy with the EU.
We, like every other country in the EU has the ability to veto tariff changes. Last year, the EU wanted to put a huge anti-dumping tariff on chinese steel to protect the EU steel industry. The UK vetoed it - they sold the british steel industry out to cosy up to the chinese. A much lower tariff was eventually agreed upon but it was too little, too late.

On negotiating with individual countries, it depends on what aspects - trade, no chance, the EU is a single market

maybe, maybe not. individual purchasers may. I know if the price of German cars increased (I currently have Audi) I would look at alternatives, you'd be daft not to.

But it's not the individual purchasers that are the issue, it's the fleet buyers, that work for large businesses, and they work to a budget, not prestige.

That affects cars from the continent too.

Based on?


I really don't understand the attitude between drivers of different cars. I'm just as happy driving SWMBO's Juke as I am driving my big german car.


Would much rather be on my R1/Speed Triple however.

You and me both. My Audi just doesn't perform like my old Z1900 or CB1000R but I fell off and it hurt.

Ride safe mate.

Don't forget that cars need parts... the price for these will probably rise as well.
