articleWhile dealers and automakers may offer modest discounts on 2025 models as 2026 inventory arrives, industry experts caution the effect of tariffs could offset much of those savings. Meanwhile, new car prices are expected to keep climbing, according to Moody. "Except on a few models, big discounts will be increasingly hard to find," Moody said. Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' head of insights, agreed that consumers shouldn't expect discounts and that vehicle prices are likely to come under upward pressure from tariffs. "Once those are gone, shoppers should expect to pay more as tariffs and limited supply push prices higher," Greene said.
