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.

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

I had a great experience with Vantage. From start to finish the process was seamless and quick. My salesperson Mark Viegas was great and very professional. I would recommend him and Vantage to anyone looking to by a new car.

Had my first experience using a broker through Vantage Auto, so I was a little nervous going into the process. Deborah made everything incredibly easy and stress-free. She was transparent, thorough, and always available to answer questions. Instead of wasting hours at dealerships, she found the exact car and color we wanted and negotiated a monthly payment within our budget. She was communicative throughout the entire process and truly wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Deborah, especially for women looking for someone trustworthy and knowledgeable. Thank you Deborah!
