Automotive Tariffs: How Will Kansas & Missouri Be Impacted?

Let's talk tariffs

Recent tariff announcements might have you wondering if now is a good time to buy or sell your car. At Cable Dahmer Automotive, we’re here to help with that. With decades of experience in the industry, our team has unique insight into the market, and we are also ready to adapt to ensure you can find the perfect car, truck, or SUV for your budget. We’re here for you now, and we’re here for you later, so let’s talk tariffs.

Cable Dahmer Is Ready to Adapt

Our goal at Cable Dahmer Automotive is to provide our customers with a diverse selection of inventory and the automotive services they need. With the announcement of 25% tariffs across North America, things may seem uncertain. According to Cox Automotive, nearly 40% of the new vehicle market in the United States could be impacted by rising prices.

We have been working to stock new cars, trucks, and SUVs to give our customers a wide selection of inventory to choose from. With our large inventory count and buying before tariffs go into effect, you can find the vehicle you want and potentially save thousands. Our dedicated sales team can help you find the vehicle you’re looking for. You can browse our wide selection of in-stock inventory online or visit one of our eight dealership locations.   

Will Used Car Prices Be Impacted by the Tariffs?

Demand for used cars is expected to increase with the new automotive tariffs. We can expect pricing to rise accordingly, as used cars become less readily available and more sought after as an alternative to new cars.

If you're in the market for a car or considering one soon, it is worth considering buying before new tariffs are applied.

The good news is that vehicles that are already in-stock aren't affected by the upcoming tariff hikes. At Cable Dahmer, we currently have a wide selection of in-stock used cars for sale.

Remember, if you need to sell your old car or are interested in a trade-in, Cable Dahmer offers top dollar for your trade-in. You can easily get your trade-in value online.

Lock in Your Price Before Tariffs Hit

Although the impending tariffs are expected to raise prices in the coming months, buyers can avoid paying premiums by acting now rather than waiting for higher consumer demand to drive up costs. By purchasing vehicles that are currently in stock, they can sidestep the anticipated price increases.
