Mercedes-Benz of Fort Washington is committed to meeting the needs of drivers in our community. That’s why we strive to be honest and transparent about what you can expect from tariffs so that you can feel confident in all your ownership needs. Here’s what we expect and how we deal with these uncertain times.
Price Increases
One common impact of tariffs is a price increase. Unfortunately, this affects both vehicles and the parts and accessories drivers need to keep their cars running right. It’s essential to be aware of these increases so that you can prepare for vehicle care in advance.
Supply Chain Disruptions
Tariffs can also influence the supply chain. This means some parts will be more difficult to access, which can affect vehicles’ production, maintenance, and repairs. While new vehicles bear the brunt of these disruptions, changes to the supply chain can even make purchasing pre-owned cars more difficult, simply because fewer models will be available. If you plan to buy a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle, it’s best to do so sooner rather than later.
Changes to Finance and Lease Offers
Automakers and dealerships often extend lease and finance offers that make finding and enjoying your ideal vehicle easier. However, tariffs can affect the automaker and the dealership, with the potential for price increases and supply chain changes limiting access to the inventory. These are often harder to come by when pricing is a response to factors outside the manufacturers’ and dealers’ control.
