Will Can Am Spyder/Ryker prices rise?

[MarkN]

If tariffs are levied against Canada, will Can Am prices become outrageous and out of everyone’s grasp like Harley’s?

With the economy the way it is, I think you can expect prices to rise no matter what. Every time the government prints an additional dollar, it devalues the ones in your pocket. So, it's not so much that things are costing more. It's more due to your dollar losing value and able to purchase less.

But tariffs are designed to increase pricing. So, yes. If they are implemented, prices on the effected products would increase.

The threat of tariffs is an excellent negotiating tool, in that they do not have to be implemented to be effective.

Great point. And there is evidence that this is already happening.

Absolutely Ron. :thumbup:

Tariffs or not, there have been price increases every year. :yes:

Which points out that there are 2 separate pressures. Economy which is driving all prices up. And tariffs, which may or may not be implemented. At this point, I think the Tariff issue is probably off the table. That is if Canada follows through with their unofficial agreement.

Unless there is a MASSIVE consumer cutback on spending, which many reasons can cause, prices will never go down.
