A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

How much is holdback on most cars?

Most manufacturers set holdback between 1% and 3% of either MSRP or invoice price. On a $40,000 vehicle, that means $400 to $1,200 that the dealer gets back from the manufacturer after the sale. The exact percentage varies by brand. Toyota and Honda typically use 2% of the base MSRP, while Ford and GM use similar percentages.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE Working with Vantage Auto was truly the best car-buying experience of my life! What is normally a tedious and stressful process was transformed into something genuinely joyful thanks to David and Jess, who handled every step with incredible professionalism, expertise, and care. From the very beginning, they were attentive, knowledgeable, and wonderfully easy to work with. They took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and managed the entire process seamlessly. Every detail was handled thoughtfully, which made the experience feel effortless—and even exciting! And the final moment was such a treat—my new car was delivered right to my house! It was the perfect, celebratory finish to an experience that felt smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. David and Jess truly go above and beyond. Their responsiveness, integrity, and enthusiasm made the entire process feel special. If you are thinking about using Vantage Auto—do it! They turn the chore of car buying into something genuinely delightful. I would never go anywhere else!

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.

I am a 79 year old man. So by this time I have had plenty of cars and dealings with car salesmen/brokers. Vantage Auto Group is far above the rest. Their responsiveness and aim to please the customer is incredibly rare. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying or leasing a vehicle,

This was my first time using a car broker, and it was a great experience. The entire process was incredibly smooth and easy from start to finish. Communication was clear, responses were quick, and they were very patient while answering questions and walking me through everything. I work in operations, so I tend to notice when processes are organized and efficient, and I really appreciated how straightforward and seamless they made the entire experience. What is usually a stressful process felt simple and well managed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an easier way to lease or purchase a vehicle.

I just leased a new car with them yesterday and it was a fantastic and easy experience. Charlie was incredibly helpful and thorough. I had the car delivered 24 hours after my first conversation with Charlie! I'll never visit a dealer again. I highly recommend Vantage Auto Group
