Are GT350 Prices About to Go Up with These Tariffs?

That affects maintenance costs but not the actual price of a used car.

New prices could go up because of raw materials, though. Remember when aluminum shot up during Covid? The US imports a lot of it from Canada. When new car prices go up, the used market follows.

GT350s were built in Michigan, so no, tariffs won’t do anything.

But a lot of the parts come from Mexico and Canada.

For example, electrical systems are mostly from Mexico. Canada supplies a lot of the machined parts for the driveline.

So yeah, tariffs could still have an effect.

A lot of people assume ‘Made in America’ means the whole thing is American. They’re in for a surprise if these tariffs go through.

GT350 prices won’t react the same way as regular cars. These are collector cars. They’re already near their lowest price and will slowly climb over time like most Shelbys. In 10 years, low-mileage ones will probably be going for $70-80k, and the R models will be over $120k.

No.

And those tariffs on Mexico and Canada? Not happening. Trump struck a deal.

We don’t know that yet. They’ve just been delayed for 30 days. Trump is surrounded by trade protectionists, so I wouldn’t assume this is over.

Tariffs are temporary. It’s just a bargaining chip. It’s about border protection, not Mustangs.

That’s a big assumption. Even if temporary, tariffs will still raise prices.

This car is my dream. Hope I can afford one someday.
