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 Auto Group was a real pleasure. They made the leasing process easy, without any of the normal stress of going to and dealing with the dealership. This is my second time working with Dave and his staff and it was as smooth the second time as it was with the first lease.

We just bought our 3rd car from Dave and his group. They make it so easy not having to go to a dealer, I wouldn't do it any other way. You tell them exactly what you want, they find it, get you a great deal and deliver it.....need I say more!!! Dave is a true professional.

Our experience with Vantage was extraordinary. Unexpectedly we found ourselves in a panic when our car just stopped and it was clear to us that we needed a new car! Our son recommended Mark Viegas and from start to finish, each step was seamless. Every person we encountered was professional , knowledgeable and excellent at their job. We were able to sell our original car and purchase a new car without any stress. We highly recommend Vantage Auto Group, Many Thanks for making this experience such a positive one Brad was also a pleasure to work with making sure the delivery was seamless
