A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Will getting out of a lease early hurt my credit?
It depends on how you exit. A lease transfer, buyout, or trade-in should not negatively affect your credit as long as all payments are made on time. An early termination where you default on remaining payments can hurt your credit significantly. If you negotiate an early termination directly with the leasing company and pay the agreed penalty, your credit should remain intact.

What Our Customers Say
People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
The experience with Vantage Auto Group was everything I had hoped for and more. Elka was very responsive, knowledgeable regarding all of my questions and she helped guide me into the car that I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with. I was able to get out a previous lease early & reduce my monthly payment for a car I preferred to be driving. The drop off process to my house was seamless & Niko who dropped off the car was professional, courteous & also answered all the questions I had. I would recommend them to all my friends & family.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND giving Vantage Auto Group a shot — you won’t be disappointed!!Words like “trustworthy” and “transparent” don’t usually come to mind when people think of car brokers or car salesmen… but Vantage Auto is changing that. They’re redefining the standard and restoring trust in this industry by proving that good, honest people still exist in the car business.They’re easy to deal with, efficient, communicative, and just all-around FAIR and GREAT to work with!

I am a 79 year old man. So by this time I have had plenty of cars and dealings with car salesmen/brokers. Vantage Auto Group is far above the rest. Their responsiveness and aim to please the customer is incredibly rare. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying or leasing a vehicle,

Charlie is the man! We’re so happy with our experience. Charlie went above and beyond to make sure we got exactly what we wanted... a 2025 black on black stick Jeep that’s absolutely perfect. He put in the extra effort to get the deal done and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. Highly recommend Charlie and the team if you want someone who’ll really go to bat for you.
