A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Can a dealer mark up my APR?
Yes. Dealers are legally allowed to add 1-3 percentage points above your approved "buy rate" and keep the difference as profit. On a $35,000 loan over 60 months, a 2% markup costs you approximately $1,800 in extra interest.

My car was delivered right to my house - it’s just what I asked for - Tom went out of his way to locate the vehicle I was interested in. No haggling at the dealership - everything was taken care of and signing paperwork online was easy. I’m very happy with the process and efficiency of Vantage. Tom even brought toys and treats for my cats !! Thanks so much

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.

We purchased a 2026 Volvo through the Vantage Group. From the first contact with David every interaction was done with the utmost professionalism. David kept us up to date during our search which involved several changes. I thoroughly recommend this group and will tell my friends to take advantage of David and his group.
