A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
How do I know if my lease deal is good or bad?
Compare three things: the selling price (cap cost) against invoice and MSRP, the money factor against the base rate published by the manufacturer's finance arm, and the residual percentage against what the manufacturer has set for that model. If the selling price is near or below invoice, the money factor is at or near the base rate (not marked up), and the residual matches the manufacturer's published number, you have a strong deal. Getting quotes from multiple dealers or a broker is the fastest way to benchmark.

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

Great customer service! Dave was very responsive and worked hard to find the car we were looking for. His pricing was unbeatable and the vehicle was delivered right to our driveway. There was a small issue with the vehicle from the manufacturer, but Dave and his team have been working hard to rectify it. Goes to show their service doesn’t disappear after delivery, and are committed to developing relationships and making longterm customers.

David Wagoner was referred to me by a co-worker. All I can say is wow. We were under a tight timeline to purchase a vehicle, and from our initial interaction late Thursday afternoon through the delivery of our vehicle Monday afternoon, David and Vantage Auto Group were transparent, quick, and provided excellent customer service throughout! Strongly recommend!

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
