A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

How much cargo space do I need for a family road trip?

For a family of four on a week-long road trip, expect to need at least 30-40 cubic feet of cargo space with all seats in use. Most midsize SUVs offer 35-40 cubic feet behind the second row with seats up, which covers a typical family's luggage comfortably. If you are packing for 5-7 passengers in a 3-row vehicle, cargo space behind the third row drops to 15-21 cubic feet in most midsize SUVs, which is tight for more than a weekend trip. A cargo carrier or roof box is a common solution, though it reduces fuel efficiency. A vehicle with a large, flat load floor when seats are folded is more practical than one with a larger raw number that includes awkward wheel well intrusions.

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!

I’m in Washington State, and Vantage Auto Group is in NJ. Initially, I thought there was no way a cross-country acquisition would make financial sense, but I figured I had nothing to lose by seeing how their numbers compared to my local PNW market. I worked with Elka the entire way. She was fantastic from day one. When our scope of vehicles was too large, she helped us narrow it down and even suggested we try a Volvo XC60 PHEV—a car that wasn't even on our radar. After test-driving options in Seattle, we narrowed it down to the Mercedes GLC350E vs. the Volvo XC60. I contacted Vantage on a Sunday, and Elka called me within minutes despite being out and about. While she started working on numbers that Monday, I began negotiating with two local sales reps simultaneously. After 24 hours, the local reps hadn't even returned my calls. By then, Elka already had preliminary numbers. We settled on the Volvo XC60 PHEV as it provided the best value. To be diligent, I expanded my search to five other dealers in the PNW for the exact same specs Elka found. The experience was typical dealership frustration: automated responses, AI chatbots that stood me up on calls, and "out the door" quotes that were substantially higher. Even accounting for the $1,700 freight cost to ship the car across the country, the best local deal I could find was still $2,100 higher than Vantage’s quote. We ended up using Elka’s contact at All America Auto Transport for the shipping.It might seem crazy to go through this to save $400 out of pocket, but the value went beyond the price. It saved me a full day of driving to Portland, fuel costs, and hours of "Dealership BS" in a finance office. That alone was worth thousands to me. The paperwork was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. It was done remotely with zero pressure for add-ons. I could read the entire contract at my own pace without distractions. Delivery was just as seamless. Elka sent photos of the loading process and kept me updated constantly. The car actually arrived several days early; it was originally quoted for May 13th and arrived on the 9th! The only downside to shipping was that our first stop was the car wash, but after that, we had a brand-new XC60 in our driveway that exceeded expectations. As a professional buyer for a large company, I take pride in my negotiation skills. I never expected a broker to get a better deal than I could get for myself, but local dealers wouldn't even engage at the levels Elka secured. Thank you, Elka, and thank you, Vantage Auto Group. The ease of this process was worth the wait. You have gained a loyal customer for life.

My name is Israel and I regret using this car broker. After financing my vehicle, they failed to help me obtain my license plates and have been unresponsive to my requests for assistance. Once the sale was completed, it felt like customer service completely disappeared. Buying a car is a major purchase, and I expected support until the registration process was finished. I would not recommend this broker based on my experience.

First-rate experience with Dave and the team at Vantage. We had several conversations walking through multiple options until we found the perfect fit for my wife. They were incredibly efficient, responsive, and provided true white-glove service.
