Car Shopping in the Age of Tarriffs

News for the Auto Industry is Tarriffying

Unless you've been under a rock or on the International Space Station for the past few months, you've probably seen the news about tarriffs.

Virtually all sectors will be impacted one way or the other, but the auto industry appears to be hit harder than most.

It pains us to type this but recent projections have the cost of a new car rising another TEN to TWELVE THOUSAND dollars which is outright absurd. Many economists are even projecting another spike in prices comparible to what we saw during Covid.

While we don't know for certain what will happen - and we definitely aren't trying to fearmonger - it's important to at least know there is potential for another increase assuming the market will bear it.

As always, we intend to keep our prices lower than our competitors but there's a real chance prices will go up across the board - first directly to us via wholesale, then with the parts we buy (which also have new tarriffs attached), then as we try to retain similar margins as we price retail to you, the consumer.

With that in mind, now truly is a great time to buy a vehicle IF you are planning on being in the market within the next year and prices do rise.

And if they don't - well, you still got a great price on a great vehicle because that's what we specialize in at Auto Solutions.

Remember, whatever happens in the world, it's a better place with you in it.

Thank you as always for being here.
