Here are some factors to consider as we head into the summer car buying season.
'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.

Trump Plugs Kid Rock's New ‘MAGA' Restaurant After ICE Raid
Donald Trump unapologetically promoted Kid Rock's latest restaurant venture Monday, just weeks after another of the musician's venues sent staff home to avoid an ICE raid. The president plugged Kid Rock's new 'very friendly MAGA establishment', The Detroit Cowboy, on his Truth Social account, along with a website link. The Nashville venue promises 'seafood, chops, fine dining' with a menu including scallops, lobster and mussels—but also some more Trump-endorsed fare. 'Congratulations to my friend, Kid Rock (I call him Bob!) on the Grand Opening of his new Nashville restaurant, 'The Detroit Cowboy,' Trump posted. 'I hear it is a very friendly MAGA establishment, and look forward to going there sometime soon!' A delighted Kid Rock tweeted in reply, 'Keep kickin' a-- for America, sir!' Kid Rock, real name Bob Richie, already owns Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N'Roll Steakhouse, which opened in Nashville in 2018. Last month the Nashville Scene reported the Steakhouse struggled to deal with late night crowds after undocumented kitchen were staff home to avoid rumored immigration raids by ICE. After the story broke Kid Rock posted on his X account that he does not have anything to do with the day to day operations at the steakhouse. 'That being said I 100% support getting illegal criminals out of our country no matter where they are,' the musician posted. 'I also, like President Trump, want to speed up the process of getting GREAT immigrants into our country - LEGALLY! It's that simple folks.' Trump would not be the first MAGA star to get a meal courtesy of The Detroit Cowboy; last week, Kid Rock hosted Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Kid Rock and Donald Trump met in 2017 and have become golfing buddies. The musician has been a rally performer—and appeared in a remarkable 'suit' outfit in the Oval Office. Talking on the Will Cain Podcast, Kid Rock bragged about being able to call Trump directly. 'We have a lot in common,' the musician said of Trump. 'I know the best hours to get him, which is really early. And then, you know, kind of dinner time late weekends when he's golfing or something.' 'I try not to bother him too much ... so when I call him it's just fun calls, like I'm his buddy.' Kid Rock told the podcast he will get calls from people seeking a direct line to the President for issues including pardons. 'I feel like I work for the Government! I'm like 'No I'm his buddy.' I'm trying to get my ticketing thing done and I've been by his side since day one, so I'm not putting anybody's agenda above mine.' If Trump does drop by The Detroit Cowboy—named, of course, for the fact that Kid Rock is a son of the motor city—he can be reassured that his notoriously limited tastes are fully catered for. A bib salad is $15.00, a 10oz filet is $76.00, and while desserts are not listed online, it seems unlikely that apple pie with two scoops of ice cream wouldn't be available. Quite what prompted Trump to promote Kid Rock's restaurant is unclear—but intriguingly, one of his favorite shows will be broadcasting live from it on Tuesday morning, with the restaurant asking $45 for the pleasure of being there for Fox & Friends' Steve Doocey's live report. Trump could, if inclined, put in an appearance at the grand opening later on Tuesday, which is strictly invitation only.

Swiss Inflation Turns Negative for First Time in Four Years
(Bloomberg) -- The inflation rate in Switzerland turned negative for the first time since early 2021, adding to pressure on policymakers to lower borrowing costs later this month. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access LA City Council Passes Budget That Trims Police, Fire Spending Consumer prices fell 0.1% from a year ago in May, according to the country's statistics office. That outcome was down from zero in April and matched the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists. The switch to outright disinflation reflects the strength of the franc, which has made imports so cheap that the foreign contribution to prices has already been negative for several months. That increases the onus to respond on the Swiss National Bank, which is widely expected to cut borrowing costs to zero on June 19. Inflation was pushed down by heating oil and air transport, while rents and some fruit and vegetable costs rose, the government agency said Tuesday. The core gauge, which excludes fresh and seasonal products as well as energy, slowed to 0.5%. While President Martin Schlegel has said repeatedly that the economy may experience individual months of negative inflation, he's also cautioned as recently as last week that such outcomes won't necessarily trigger a central-bank reaction. 'Our focus is not on the current rate of inflation, but rather on price stability over the medium term,' he said last week. Fellow policymaker Petra Tschudin may face questions on the matter after a speech later Tuesday. A 25 basis-point cut is fully priced in for this month, following five prior steps totaling 150 basis points so far. That move would bring the interest rate to zero. Some economists even anticipate a return to negative borrowing costs, though only a minority expects that to come already at the upcoming meeting. Since the financial crisis of 2008, there were four periods where Swiss inflation was below zero for several months. The SNB targets a range of 0%-2%. Consumer-price growth in the surrounding euro area remains significantly stronger than in Switzerland, and is anticipated to have been 2% in May. Based on the European Union's harmonized measure, Swiss prices saw a drop of 0.2% in the period. --With assistance from Joel Rinneby, Kristian Siedenburg and Harumi Ichikura. (Adds chart.)

Gold Edges Lower on Stronger Dollar Ahead of US Labor Figures
(Bloomberg) -- Gold dipped as the dollar strengthened ahead of US labor data later this week that will help steer the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Where the Wild Children's Museums Are Billionaire Steve Cohen Wants NY to Expand Taxpayer-Backed Ferry The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access LA City Council Passes Budget That Trims Police, Fire Spending Bullion declined as much as 0.8% following the biggest daily jump in four weeks on Monday. Labor market indicators including a report on May employment are scheduled to be released on Friday, while investors watch for news on trade negotiations after the US pushed for presidential talks with China. Despite the modest drop, gold is still up more than a quarter so far this year, with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. saying last week it would remain a hedge against inflation in long-term portfolios, along with oil. The European Union, meanwhile, issued a fresh warning of countermeasures if President Donald Trump follows through on his tariff threats. There are few signs of a breakthrough on trade negotiations with the two biggest American trading partners, and there are growing concerns over Trump's policies and their impacts on the global economy. The greenback fell to the lowest level since 2023 on Monday. Spot gold was 0.5% lower at $3,364.69 an ounce as of 2:28 p.m. in Singapore. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.1%. Silver fell after hitting the highest since October on Monday. Platinum was flat and palladium slipped.
