A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Should I buy my leased car at the end of the lease?
It makes financial sense to buy your leased car if the residual value (buyout price) is lower than the car's current market value. If you can buy it for $20,000 and it is worth $24,000, you gain $4,000 in instant equity. It does not make sense if the residual is higher than what the car is worth, because you would be overpaying compared to buying the same car on the open market.

I wish I knew leasing a car could be this easy years ago! I still can’t believe how seamless my experience was with Sean. He was extremely responsive and got me the best price compared to other dealers I had been talking to. The delivery of the car was on the exact day and time I asked for, even though it was a national holiday. I have already referred him to so many of my friends and family. So glad someone referred me to Sean. All the stress that comes with buying/leasing a car is now a thing of the past!

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.

I rarely write any reviews, I do find it necessary that I write one this time.I haven't purchased a new vehicle for quite some time. When I decided to move forward I dreaded the thought of having to go through the process of dealing with multiple dealerships, gathering quotes etc. and having to deal with pushy, non-transparent sales and finance people. Don't get me wrong, not all dealerships are that way or have staff looking to make big profit margins. If you've bought or leased any vehicle, you know those sales and finance guys are out there looking to make the absolute most profit possible. They get you going this way and that way. That's their business, to make money, I get that but the frustration, time and effort just isn't worth it to me.So, with that said, I was told by Brandon an employee of Vantage Auto Group to give them a try. Tommy C. was my contact and I have to say, from day one this was the best experience I had ever had with purchasing a new vehicle. No hassle, no frustration, no running back and forth to dealerships. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism, transparency in order to satisfy the customer (Me). Aside from a minor setback which was corrected immediately, Tommy came through with the new truck that I was looking for. Hassle free, I received delivery even with a little parting gift which was very much appreciated.I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend using Vantage Auto Group for your next lease or purchase of a new/used vehicle.Thanks again Tommy and All at Vantage Auto GroupA Happy customerAndy
