Schoepp Motors, a car dealership in south central Wisconsin, is strategically preparing for potential price increases on new cars due to trade tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. General Sales Manager Craig Blevins says they anticipated the tariffs and stocked up on inventory before they were implemented. He expects new cars affected by tariffs to increase in price by $5,000 to $10,000, a cost that manufacturers will likely pass on to consumers. However, Schoepp Motors plans to avoid passing on these costs to customers by strategic buying and sticking to their long-time suppliers for inventory replenishment. Blevins also advises consumers to only buy a car if they truly need one, as the tariffs will likely have a ripple effect on industry pricing. Despite potential price increases, Blevins believes now is a good time to buy a car if it aligns with the consumer’s needs. The dealership is gearing up for their annual Memorial Day sale and expects high customer traffic.
