Learn About Tariffs
The Impacts of Tariffs on Subaru Vehicles
The recent tariffs on imported cars and automotive parts are shaking up the industry, but what does that mean for you? Tariffs are a tax on imported goods that American business owners pay so they can sell the goods stateside. In this global economy, many everyday products are imported. Businesses typically pass on the cost of tariffs to consumers by increasing the purchase price of that item, allowing the seller to recoup the cost of the tariff and still make a profit.
Unfortunately, most new vehicle prices will likely increase as the new tariffs go into effect. Nearly every vehicle sold, even those made in the U.S., is assembled with imported parts and subject to a tariff. Our experts at Brewster Subaru want to provide you with the information you need to make your next vehicle more affordable. If you are already in the market for a new vehicle, now is the best time to come to our dealership and shop for a new Subaru to avoid the higher costs due to the new tariffs.
Which Subaru Vehicles Are Impacted by the New Tariffs?
U.S.-made Subaru models will be less impacted by the new tariff. Subaru models from Japan that were already on our lot before the new tariff went into effect are not subject to the 25 percent tariff because they have already cleared customs. The current price of these vehicles already reflects the tariff paid during the import process. We cannot guarantee that there won't be price increases on our current inventory as demand increases, so we encourage shoppers looking for a new Subaru to stop by as soon as possible.
