There are specific exceptions and considerations related to MSRP limits for certain vehicles:
- Automaker Exemptions: Automakers may occasionally receive temporary exemptions from tariffs, which could indirectly affect pricing by not including additional costs. For example, the “Big Three” domestic automakers have been granted exemptions from tariffs, which might not directly impact MSRP but could influence overall pricing strategies.
- Clean Vehicle Credits: The IRS sets MSRP limits for eligibility in the New Clean Vehicle Credit. For certain vehicle categories like SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans, there is an $80,000 MSRP limit. For other vehicles, the limit is $55,000. This means that vehicles priced above these limits are not eligible for the credit.
- Dealer Markups and Charges: Dealers can add charges for goods and services not included in the MSRP, but these must be disclosed and not misleading. If the offering price exceeds MSRP, any additional dealer markup must be clearly described as such. This does not exempt vehicles from overall MSRP pricing rules but allows for additional costs to be factored into the final price.
In summary, while there are no blanket exceptions to MSRP limits, specific regulations and incentives can affect how vehicles are priced and what costs are included in their final price.
