A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What does low depreciation mean for a car lease?
In a lease, you pay for the depreciation the car experiences during your lease term, plus a financing charge. A car with low depreciation retains more of its value, which means a higher residual value percentage is set by the manufacturer's financial arm. A higher residual translates directly to a lower monthly payment because you are financing a smaller portion of the vehicle's total value. In short, low depreciation is one of the main reasons some vehicles lease significantly better than their sticker price suggests.

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!
