A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Is it easier to lease or buy a car with bad credit?
Leasing is often easier to get approved for than buying when you have bad credit. Because lease payments are typically lower than loan payments, lenders take on less risk per month. A lower monthly obligation means a lower debt-to-income ratio, which can tip the approval in your favor. That said, your interest rate (called the money factor on a lease) will still be higher with a lower credit score.

I’ve always used brokers to get my car, It’s definitely much easier than going to the dealers and getting screwed over later.Brandon and his team were a great help In helping me find a car that suited my needs. Although I was a little skeptical, cause I’ve only done it one other time, but the process was quick and easy. I wanted to carbefore February, and Vantage Motor delivered, I mean actually delivered the car to my house.Only thing I had to do was decide which one I wanted. Will definitely be using them again for my next car!

My car leasing experience with Vantage was fantastic. Sean took an overwhelming decision and process and made it so easy. He was available morning, noon, and night as well as weekends. He never pressured me and simply gave me facts and possibilities and recommendations. The experience was really amazing from the start and I’m extremely grateful for his help in making the car leasing process manageable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy or lease a car. Sarah
