Pro Tip from Sean

When you’re leasing an SUV, don’t shop by trim name; shop by payment plus out‑the‑door cost. A “better” trim at a clean price often beats a “base” trim weighed down with add‑ons and markup.

Had the pleasure of trying Vantage Auto group to broker a vehicle for the first time and I cant recommend them enough. The experience was super easy, super quick, had a new car in my driveway within 3 days of contacting them. I worked alongside David Wagoner, one of their sales associates, who provided such a smooth experience and easy to communicate with. Please do yourself a favor, avoid the headaches of a dealership, and use Vantage for leasing or purchasing a vehicle as well as trying out their other services. Will be using them in the future for sure

David, Omar, and the team at Vantage are awesome! The process was only a couple of days and they were able to secure my lease with much better terms than what the dealer was offering direct. Would highly recommend working with them if you’re in need of a new lease!

Frequently Asked Questions

If the car's market value exceeds the residual value when your lease ends, you have positive equity. You can buy the car at the residual price (which is below market value) and either keep it or sell it for a profit. This happened frequently during the 2021-2023 used car market spike and can still occur with high-demand vehicles. It is one of the underappreciated benefits of leasing a car that holds its value well.

Multiply the money factor by 2,400. For example: 0.00100 x 2,400 = 2.4% APR. 0.00150 x 2,400 = 3.6% APR. 0.00250 x 2,400 = 6.0% APR. This gives you an approximate annual percentage rate that you can compare against traditional auto loan rates. The conversion is not perfectly precise, but it is close enough for comparison purposes.

Interest rate is just the cost of borrowing the principal. APR includes the interest rate plus origination fees, processing charges, and other loan costs, giving you the true annual cost of the loan for comparison purposes.

Yes. Dealers receive holdback (2-3% of MSRP) from the manufacturer after each sale, plus volume bonuses and dealer cash incentives. A dealer can sell below invoice and still make money on the transaction.

Gap insurance is worth it if you put less than 20% down, have a loan longer than 48 months, or financed negative equity from a previous vehicle. If you made a large down payment or drive a vehicle that holds its value well, you probably do not need it.

Check your lease contract first. Most lease agreements include gap coverage automatically. If yours does, buying additional gap insurance means paying for duplicate coverage you do not need.
