SUMMARY: New tariffs implemented by President Trump may lead to significant price hikes for cars in Mississippi, causing anxiety among potential car buyers. The Mississippi Automobile Dealer Association indicates that while cars currently on lots won’t be affected, future inventory could see increased prices due to tariffs on imports and parts. Many shoppers are feeling pressured to make hurried purchases before prices rise, even compromising on preferences. Additionally, the expected shortage of new cars may drive up used car prices. Ongoing negotiations in North America aim to address these pricing concerns. Reporting from Jackson by AC Lewis, 12 News.
