A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Are sedans cheaper than SUVs to lease or buy?
In most cases, yes. Sedans typically have a lower purchase price and MSRP than comparable SUVs, which translates to lower monthly payments when leasing or financing. The gap is smaller than many people expect in the compact segment, where a Honda Civic and Honda CR-V might be only $50-$80 apart per month. But in the midsize segment, a Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander can be $150-$200 apart. Sedans also typically get better fuel economy, which adds to the total cost savings over the ownership period.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
Working with Vantage was an awesome experience. They walked me through every step and made me feel like their top priority! They even returned my EZpass device that I had mistakenly left in my trade-in. I didn’t even know this industry existed prior to working with them, but I will never walk into a dealership to buy a car again, thanks to the amazing service Vantage provided. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently moved from the city and needed a car but didn’t know where to start. At first we tried online, but it was honestly a little overwhelming. I reached out to a local friend for leads, and he pointed me to Vantage. I hopped on a call with Sean after work and gave him a rough outline for what we were looking for. I’m not a car guy, so it was basically: “I need something safe, reliable, and not falling apart.” Sean very much IS a car guy, and he took it from there. After going over our budget, he recommended a couple options, as well as compelling reasons to lease instead of buying used as we had planned. The next morning we went back and forth via text to hash out the details, and then that afternoon a beautiful brand new car within our budget rolled into our driveway. I signed some paperwork with his team, and that was that. Literally less than 24 hours after the initial phone call, I was all set. It was easier than 99% of all my other projects that go into moving to the burbs. The whole experience was extremely communicative and chill. And on top of everything else…I straight up love this car. I fear I’m a car guy now. Thanks, Vantage.

S/O to Oscar and his team! They put me in the exact car I wanted for a great price in less than 3 days in the next state over. I’d highly recommend to anyone in the market to purchasing a new car.
