At Village Ford, a dealership in Ford's hometown of Dearborn, Mich., customers have increasingly been asking about tariffs, said Loice DeBerry, a 40-year veteran of car sales.
He's had to tell them he's at a loss about exactly what it could mean for car and SUV prices.
"We tell them, it's the unknown," DeBerry said.
Dealership owner Jim Seavitt said Ford's Mexico-built Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle has finally become a meaningful seller just as new tariffs loom. He worries about sales of the EV, as well as Ford's other Mexico-assembled vehicles, the Maverick pickup and Bronco Sport SUV.
Seavitt said he hopes the automaker will add new tariff costs evenly across its lineup, even to
its U.S.-built vehicles, so that no single model jumps in price too noticeably.
"Spread it around," he said.
