At Ray Laks Honda, customers have expressed concern over the recent implementation of new federal trade policies. And rightfully so, given there's much confusion as to how any tariff will affect new Honda models going forward.
To allay such anxiety, we'd like to offer vital information regarding tariffs and the new Honda lineup now featured near Orchard Park, NY.
What We Know
For laypersons, a tariff is a tax imposed on imported goods from overseas. So, in consideration of tariffs that have now gone into effect, any imported vehicle or part from another country will have a tariff percentage levied. This is factored into MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) on new vehicles and parts are made more expensive.
When car shopping, it's now essential to understand where your favored vehicle will have been assembled. This should take into consideration that added taxes on goods coming in from overseas will almost always be passed onto the consumer.
New vehicles and parts then become more expensive for families in West Seneca. And brand incentives and special offers are likely to dry up due to rising costs.
Honda Models Assembled in the U.S.
As a brand during this time, Honda relies upon plants in Indiana, Ohio and Alabama to assemble new Honda models:
- Honda Civic and Honda CR-V are built in Indiana.
- Honda Accord is assembled in Ohio.
- Honda Odyssey, Honda Passport, Honda Pilot and Honda Ridgeline are built in Alabama.
Knowing which Honda models are assembled in the U.S. might see lower prices than those vehicles delivered from overseas. Though any part or component that's sourced from another country and installed during assembly here might incur added cost. This will raise prices, as policies now stand.
