Automotive Tariffs and You: What Moose Jaw Drivers Need to Know

Posted on August 22, 2025

Learn how U.S. tariffs could affect vehicle prices in Moose Jaw, why now is the perfect time to shop during Ford Employee Pricing, and how Moose Jaw Ford can help you save.

 

 

Understanding the Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Car Buyers

 

U.S. tariffs — taxes on imported goods — have been making headlines lately. While these policies start south of the border, they can affect Canadian car prices, especially for models or parts that come from the U.S. or other tariffed countries.

For drivers in Moose Jaw, that could mean potential changes to the cost of buying, leasing, or even servicing your vehicle. Knowing how tariffs work and how they might influence the market can help you make smarter buying decisions — especially right now, while Ford Employee Pricing is on.

 

 

Is Moose Jaw Ford a Canadian Company?

 

Yes. Moose Jaw Ford is proudly Canadian, serving Moose Jaw and southern Saskatchewan for decades. We’re part of the Driving Change Automotive Group and are committed to helping our guests get the right vehicle at the right price — no matter how market conditions shift.

 

 

How Could Tariffs Affect Vehicle Prices in Moose Jaw?

 

If tariffs increase the cost of importing certain vehicles or auto parts, dealerships across Canada could see higher wholesale prices. For Moose Jaw buyers, that might mean:

• Higher new vehicle prices for affected models
• Increased used vehicle prices if demand shifts toward pre-owned inventory
• Possible cost increases for repairs if replacement parts are tariffed

Not every model or part will be affected, but being informed and acting at the right time can make all the difference.

 

 

How to Minimize the Impact of Tariffs

 

If you’re concerned about paying more in the future, here are some smart strategies:

1. Buy from current inventory – Our in-stock vehicles were purchased before potential tariff price adjustments.
2. Take advantage of Ford Employee Pricing – Right now, you pay what we pay, making this one of the best times to buy before any price increases.
3. Consider leasing – Lease payments are locked in at signing, giving you price stability.
4. Explore certified pre-owned options – These offer like-new quality at a lower cost.
5. Ask about incentives – Manufacturer and government programs can offset purchase costs.

 

 

Will Tariffs Affect Leased Vehicles?

 

If you already have a lease, your payments are fixed and won’t be impacted. New leases signed after tariff adjustments may reflect higher costs, but leasing still helps you control monthly expenses while giving you flexibility.

 

 

Will Moose Jaw Ford Change Prices on Current Inventory?

 

No — all vehicles currently on our lot in Moose Jaw are priced as advertised. Once those vehicles are sold, incoming models may be priced according to any market changes related to tariffs.

 

 

Could Trade-In Values Go Up?

 

Possibly. If tariffs cause new vehicle prices to rise, the demand for used cars could increase, boosting trade-in values. That makes now an excellent time to trade in and upgrade — especially with Ford Employee Pricing giving you the best possible deal on your new ride.

 

 

Do Tariffs Apply to Parts and Service?

 

Some tariffs may impact imported parts, which could affect repair costs. Our service department works with multiple suppliers to keep pricing competitive and regularly offers service specials to help you save.

 

 

Are There Government Incentives to Help Offset Costs?

 

While no programs are designed specifically to counter tariffs, there are rebates and incentives for electric and fuel-efficient vehicles that can lower your overall cost. Our team can guide you through available options when you shop with us.

 

 

Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy in Moose Jaw

 

Ford Employee Pricing means you pay what we pay on eligible new Ford models — and it’s happening right now at Moose Jaw Ford. Combine these savings with the stability of buying from current inventory, and you have the perfect opportunity to get into a new vehicle before any potential market changes from tariffs take effect.
