I have a network of ecommerce sites.. All of them sell the same thing but I made one specific for a city. like for NY cars-new-york-1.whatever and have the main one for USA: cars-usa-1.whatever

I want to put all selling cars in the USA site and links in the content of cars-new-york-1.whatever to cars-usa.whatever where the actual car specification is.

Will that affect my seo in cars-new-york-1.whatever? or Google understand that the other one is part of my network (it even have the same cms behind it)

Should I only add like a banner in the NY site to USA site and nothing more not to loose ranking?

It seems like you are trying to do localization using usa.topleveldomain.com as your main site but with a more local ny-usa.topleveldomain.com, ultimiatly linking back to usa.topleveldomain.com.

If not tagged properly, Google could see this is a duplication of content and therefore downgrade both domains.

I suggest you look into Rel=Canonical tags. Some good documentation can be found here.
