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.

My experience with Vantage Auto Group and Mr. David Alesso was exceptional. Over a few months, he was incredibly helpful at every step. David showed deep concern in ensuring my daughter’s desired features were included, and he made sure we got a car that met every specification down to the finest detail. In the end, he made our family very happy. On delivery day, since David wasn’t there, Mr. Shoni helped with the closing. I also met Jordan, the driver who delivered the car to the office, and he was very nice. The pricing was very competitive. In the past, dealerships made us uncomfortable, but this is the new era of car buying. When you call, ask for Mr. David Alesso, and even if he’s busy, he’ll make time for you. I highly recommend them!

Had the pleasure of trying Vantage Auto group to broker a vehicle for the first time and I cant recommend them enough. The experience was super easy, super quick, had a new car in my driveway within 3 days of contacting them. I worked alongside David Wagoner, one of their sales associates, who provided such a smooth experience and easy to communicate with. Please do yourself a favor, avoid the headaches of a dealership, and use Vantage for leasing or purchasing a vehicle as well as trying out their other services. Will be using them in the future for sure
