A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Does putting more money down lower my monthly lease payment?
Yes, a larger down payment (capitalized cost reduction) lowers your monthly payment. However, many financial advisors recommend keeping your down payment minimal on a lease. If the car is totaled or stolen in the first few months, your down payment is gone. It is generally better to negotiate the selling price down rather than writing a bigger check upfront.

Sean and Brandon were fantastic! I cannot stress how much easier the car buying process was with Sean’s guidance and network. Brandon was a consummate professional when it came to the delivery of our new car! It was clean and cared for after the long drive down. I cannot stress how much better it was working with them as opposed to going to a dealer. We will be buying all our future cars through Sean at Vantage!

Another five star experience!!! This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased through David and the crew at Vantage. No hassle, no bait and switch, no high pressure sales tactics or incessant follow up phone calls like with a traditional dealership. A few phone conversations with David, and he finds the car you want, with the trim package you want, at the best possible price. Delivery is convenient and the crew are always the constant professionals, taking the time to go over vehicle features and getting you setup to go…. Cant say enough.
