Nissan Pre-Tariff Event

Lock In Today’s Prices Before They're Gone

At Pohanka Nissan, we want to keep you informed about how recent government-imposed tariffs on imported auto parts are impacting the entire car market—including vehicles assembled right here in the USA.

Even though brands like Nissan manufacture many of their models in American plants—including our own Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee—those vehicles often rely on globally sourced parts. The same goes for U.S. automakers like Ford and Chevrolet, which use components from Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, and South Korea.

Here are a few examples of how the tariffs can impact pricing:

• A vehicle assembled in the U.S. may still have 30–50% of its parts sourced from other countries.
• Estimates show the average new car—regardless of brand—could increase by $2,500 or more due to rising part costs.
• Even popular models built in North America could see longer wait times or limited availability as supply chains adjust.

At Pohanka Nissan we remain committed to transparency and helping our customers navigate these changes.

  What Does This Mean for Used Cars?

As new vehicle prices increase, more buyers are turning to used cars for better value—driving higher demand and in many cases, higher prices. We're already seeing this shift in real time, with some used models increasing by $1,000 to $3,000 compared to last year.

• Used car prices are rising due to increased demand and limited inventory
• Your current vehicle may be worth more now if you’re thinking about trading it in or selling
• Delaying your purchase may mean paying more later
