Is the dealer a better choice for financing on a certified pre-owned vehicle?

I want to purchase a certified pre-owned vehicle from Honda. The rates seem almost unrealistically low, but I'm still not sure if I should go through the dealer or the bank. Is the dealer the better option, or should I shop around?

“As with any loan, be it a car loan, mortgage, or something else, shopping around is always a good idea.
However, it’s important to note that many dealers can offer superb rates on certified pre-owned vehicles due to incentives, rebates, and bonus cash.
