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.

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.

We purchased a 2026 Volvo through the Vantage Group. From the first contact with David every interaction was done with the utmost professionalism. David kept us up to date during our search which involved several changes. I thoroughly recommend this group and will tell my friends to take advantage of David and his group.

Great service! Sean worked with me over a couple of weeks to get a car that fit my budget and that I love. They delivered the car right to my house with a full tank of gas, signed some paper work and I was done. 100% would recommend.
