A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What is the difference between deducting a car loan vs. a lease payment?
With a loan, you deduct depreciation and interest, not the payment itself. With a lease, you deduct the actual lease payment. The timing and amount of the deductions differ: loan deductions are front-loaded through Section 179/bonus depreciation, while lease deductions are spread evenly over the lease term. Both methods can be effective depending on your tax situation.

I had an amazing experience working with Mark Viegas! He helped me get a leased vehicle without ever having to step foot in a dealership. Mark handled all the negotiations, worked within my down payment and monthly budget, and made the entire process stress-free. The best part — he even had the car delivered right to my home! I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and easy everything was. Highly recommend Mark if you want a professional who truly takes care of everything from start to finish.

The entire process was smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free—something you don’t often hear when it comes to buying a car!

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.
