Best Deals for Memorial Day

Memorial Day weekend is all about the Indy 500, food on the grill, friends and family hanging out, and celebrating our freedoms and why we have them. But if you’re in the market for a new vehicle, it can also be a great time to get a special lease or finance deal at prices not available most of the year.

While our list covers deals on specific models, Ford is offering employee pricing, and Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler are running the “Declaration of Deals,” where they will either cover the vehicle’s state sales tax or offer 0% APR financing on select vehicles. 

The prices below include destination fees but don’t include other mandatory fees such as tax, title, or licensing. Not all deals will be available in all areas, so be sure to check which deals are available near you.

Whatever kind of vehicle you’re after, you’re likely to find something appealing on our list of this year’s best Memorial Day car deals.
