A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Should I put money down on a lease?

Controversial advice: $0 down or very little (just first payment + fees). Here's why: if the car is totaled or stolen in month 2, insurance pays the leasing company, but your down payment is gone. GAP insurance doesn't refund down payments. Never put $3K-5K down on a lease.

Smoothest car transaction I’ve ever experienced. Quick, yet detailed, responses to all my questions. It’s a process I always dread but Sean made it seem so easy and more affordable. Highly recommend

Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, attentive, and incredibly responsive. I told her exactly what I wanted on a Friday afternoon, and by Monday morning she had the perfect car lined up, at a price even better than what the dealership offered. She also secured a significantly higher trade‑in value than I was able to get anywhere else. The car was delivered right to my driveway later that week. I’ve already recommended Debbie and Vantage Auto Group to several people looking to buy or lease a new car. Truly exceptional service.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!

Working with Vantage was an awesome experience. They walked me through every step and made me feel like their top priority! They even returned my EZpass device that I had mistakenly left in my trade-in. I didn’t even know this industry existed prior to working with them, but I will never walk into a dealership to buy a car again, thanks to the amazing service Vantage provided. Highly recommend!
