Summer Discounts
“We’re entering a rare window where some of the most reliable cars on the road are also the most negotiable,” said Zach Shefska, CEO and co-founder of CarEdge. “Models like the Nissan Altima and Subaru Legacy are being phased out, while others like the Honda Passport and Toyota RAV4 are making way for redesigned versions. That’s a recipe for aggressive summer discounts.”
For discerning buyers, especially those who prioritize long-term value and dependability, June and July could offer serious opportunities. Shefska said that’s especially true, as dealers start clearing out inventory ahead of 2026 releases. Keep in mind that it never hurts to shop around — both at dealers and online — and negotiate for even better prices.
