Which Automakers Have the Most New Inventory to Buy?


Tariffs on vehicles assembled outside of the U.S. have already had an effect on what models are being sent here, with brands like Audi, Jaguar and Land Rover pausing some vehicle shipments. That doesn’t mean these brands’ dealerships are without cars to sell, but it may mean shoppers interested in these and other brands could have fewer available vehicles to choose from in the months to come — and possibly at higher prices.
