A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Why have lease payments increased so much since 2020?
Several factors combined to push lease payments higher: vehicle prices rose sharply during the chip shortage (2021-2023), interest rates climbed as the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate, and residual values became less predictable as the used-car market fluctuated. While conditions have stabilized somewhat in 2026, average payments remain higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Great experience with Vantage. Was able to avoid the hassle of going to multiple car dealerships and the service was great. They Dropped off my new car, picked up my trade in and handed me a check. Will definitely use them in the future.

I just leased my new 2026 Nissan Rogue through Vantage Auto Group, and the experience was fast, easy, and completely stress-free. I worked with Charles Serpone, who was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way. He listened to what I wanted and helped me get the exact price I was aiming for. I couldn’t be happier with the process — highly recommend Vantage Auto Group and Charles for anyone looking to lease their next vehicle!
