A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Do luxury cars have better or worse lease residual values?
It depends heavily on the brand. European luxury brands like BMW and Mercedes-Benz historically have lower residual values than Japanese or Korean luxury brands, meaning you pay for more of the depreciation in your lease payment. Lexus, Genesis, and Volvo tend to have stronger residuals relative to their price point, which translates to lower monthly payments. A higher residual value is better for the lessee: it means the car holds its value and you finance a smaller portion of it. Always compare residual percentages, not just monthly payments, when shopping luxury leases.

My car was delivered right to my house - it’s just what I asked for - Tom went out of his way to locate the vehicle I was interested in. No haggling at the dealership - everything was taken care of and signing paperwork online was easy. I’m very happy with the process and efficiency of Vantage. Tom even brought toys and treats for my cats !! Thanks so much

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.

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.

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!
