💨 Abstract

The article discusses the impact of U.S. tariffs on new vehicle purchases. Automakers are increasing costs through reduced incentives and higher destination fees, which are non-negotiable charges for vehicle delivery. These fees remain the same regardless of the vehicle's destination. Buyers may find fewer financing offers and cashback deals. For consumers, trading in a non-tariffed vehicle for a new one could be advantageous as tariffs are expected to affect new vehicle prices this summer.
