A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is a marked-up money factor and how does it cost me money?

Dealers are allowed to mark up the money factor from the manufacturer's base rate, and they keep the additional interest as profit. On a $40,000 vehicle leased for 36 months, a money factor markup of just 0.0005 can cost you $200 to $500 over the lease term without you realizing it.

My wife and I have been working with Dave and Vantage Auto Group for over 5 years now, across 7 cars for our family, and the experience has been consistently outstanding.

Such a wonderful experience with Sean and his team at Vantage Auto Group. Imagine not having to sit at a dealership for several hours. That alone is worth the 5 star review. Add to that how knowledgeable Sean is, how he actually wants to get you the best deal, and how little stress you'll experience throughout the entire process, and 5 stars just aren't enough. I would recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone!
