A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Is a car with low depreciation always a good lease deal?
Not always. Low depreciation helps with the residual side of the lease equation, but the money factor (interest rate) and selling price also matter. A vehicle can have excellent residuals but still be a poor lease deal if the dealer refuses to negotiate on price or if the manufacturer sets a high money factor for that month. That said, strong residuals give you a structural advantage that is harder to overcome than a high sticker price. In general, low-depreciation vehicles offer better lease value on average, but you still need to verify the full deal before signing.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
Working with Vantage was an awesome experience. They walked me through every step and made me feel like their top priority! They even returned my EZpass device that I had mistakenly left in my trade-in. I didn’t even know this industry existed prior to working with them, but I will never walk into a dealership to buy a car again, thanks to the amazing service Vantage provided. Highly recommend!

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

Charlie is the man! We’re so happy with our experience. Charlie went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted... a 2025 black on black stick Jeep that’s absolutely perfect. He put in the extra effort to get the deal done and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. Highly recommend Charlie and the team if you want someone who’ll really go to bat for you.

I had an amazing experience working with Mark Viegas! He helped me get a leased vehicle without ever having to step foot in a dealership. Mark handled all the negotiations, worked within my down payment and monthly budget, and made the entire process stress-free. The best part — he even had the car delivered right to my home! I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and easy everything was. Highly recommend Mark if you want a professional who truly takes care of everything from start to finish.

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!

I just got my 3rd car through Vantage Auto. The process has always been seamless. I've mostly worked with Sarah and she's always very responsive. She finds out what we want and our approximate budget and is quick to tell me what my options are - including some out of the box ideas. She's able to find good deals on cars we may not have previously considers. Sarah coordinates everything including test drives, picking up your old car, and delivering the new car. I've been very happy with the service I've received from Vantage and highly recommend them for your car shopping needs.

I had a great experience working with Sean at Vantage Auto Group. I wasn’t really looking forward to going through the car-buying process, but Sean made it incredibly easy. He found the exact car I wanted, got me a great deal, and had it delivered right to my driveway, without ever having to deal with a dealership. There was no pressure, no pushing, and no feeling that anyone was trying to take advantage. Everything was smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone who wants the car-buying experience to be easy and hassle-free.
