Interesting take... Good Luck!
Proposed Class Action
Detroit News picked up this story. The plaintiff is a California man who says that he paid extra for his new Ford Mach-E, which is made in Mexico. Because it is an import, taxes and duties had to be paid, and the Ford dealer that sold him the unit built the additional costs into its price.
When the plaintiff purchased the car, he shouldered the additional cost, but now that Ford is set to receive a tariff refund from the Federal Government, the plaintiff is seeking a cut of that refund. The proposed class action was filed in federal court in Michigan and alleges that Ford Motor Co. passed the tariff costs on to customers, resulting in inflated prices and destination fees for vehicles imported into the United States, such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E crossover.
