This month, deals on certified pre-owned cars & trucks feature rates as low as 0.9% APR. In some cases, we're even seeing brands offering up to $500 toward your first month's payment ahead of Memorial Day.
Buying certified can save you a ton of money and offers the peace of mind of a limited warranty. When you get to the dealer, be sure you're looking at factory certified cars since dealer-certified models aren't eligible for the same deals.
Here's our roundup of the best used car deals in May. Brands are listed alphabetically.
Certified Audi Specials
Through May 31, Audi is offering rates as low as 1.99% APR for up to 66 months on select pre-owned vehicles. Unfortunately, the deal focuses exclusively on the A3 and A6.
Rates aren't nearly as attractive on popular SUVs like the Q5 and Q7 at 3.69% APR. That could change closer to Memorial Day, but we consider it highly unlikely.
In the past, rates bottomed out at 0.9% APR back in October 2017. February's complimentary maintenance deal offering no-cost Audi Care hasn't been renewed.

Through May 31, you can enjoy rates as low as 1.25% APR on all certified 2013-2018 Infinitis. The catch is that the deal is only good for up to 36 months.
Although there's an unusual 72-month option on select models, the rate is considerably higher at 4.24%.
Featured Deals:
- 1.25% APR for 24-36 months on 2013-2018 on all CPO vehicles

Certified Mazda Specials
Through July 2, Mazda is offering 0.9% APR for 36 months on most certified vehicles. However, if you're considering a 60-month loan, the rate is a bit higher at 2.9% APR.
In the past, some of the better deals we've seen have involved 72-month rates as low as 3.9% APR, or complimentary payment waivers worth up to $350 on the Mazda3.
Please note the CX-3 is excluded from these deals.
Featured Deals:
- 0.9% APR for 36 months on 2014-2016 Mazda3, Mazda6, CX-5, MX-5 Miata and more.

Certified Nissan Specials
Through July 2, Nissan is offering rates as low as 1.95% APR for up to 36 months. There's even a 72-month loan option starting at 3.99%. That's nice and all, but financing at non-promotional rates has an added perk.
Instead of a special rate, "Customer Captive Cash" worth $450 is available on the Altima, Maxima, Rogue, Rogue Select, and Sentra. The all-electric LEAF is eligible for $700.
Featured Deals:
- $450 captive cash on 2014-2018 models like the Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Rogue, Rogue Select
- $700 captive cash on 2014-2018 LEAF
