The Vantage Auto Group Insider

Here’s the Dad-Approved Math

Ready to make your business ride as savvy (sexy, sassy) as you are? If you’re eyeing a luxury SUV that’s as smart on tax breaks as it is on style, listen up: Buying a SUV through your business before 2025 ends could unlock a jaw-dropping first-year tax deduction of up to $48,780. You read that right. Your Car-Smart Dad is here to give you a lesson on how the tax code works in your favor—and how to drive off with more cash in your pocket.

Keeping It Simple and Transparent: The Vantage Way

Ever wonder how we’re able to shop hundreds of deals and still save you thousands? It’s not a secret, and it’s definitely not magic tricks at the finance desk. Think of us as your “Car-Smart Dad”—we break down the math, ditch the games, and make sure everyone’s interests are on the same page (yours).

If you run two SUVs or two dozen workhorses, we’re the partner busy teams trust to save time, money, and headaches—so your people keep moving and your P&L smiles.

Buying a new car has always been about timing, your budget, and specific needs, but there’s another factor that’s harder to see when you’re looking at prices—auto tariffs. Auto tariffs can change what you pay, which models are within reach, and if a used car holds its value.

Let’s break things down the way your car-smart dad would, so you can see how tariffs might affect your decision.

Thinking of ending your lease early? Here’s the short version:

• Yes, you can break your lease—but there are costs
• The best options: lease transfer, buyout and resale, or trade-in
• Avoid voluntary termination unless it’s your last resort
• Vantage helps you calculate every path and avoid surprise penalties

Trying to choose between leasing and buying a car? It comes down to how you drive, how long you’ll keep it, and what kind of deal fits your life. Here’s the short version:

If you’re stuck in a car lease that no longer fits your life—or looking to score a luxury ride at a deep discount—lease transfers are one of the smartest financial moves most drivers don’t even know they have.

Not ready to commit to a full 36-month lease? We get it. Life moves fast—and sometimes, you just need a set of wheels for the in-between.

If you’ve ever tried to squeeze a stroller, three duffel bags, a set of golf clubs, and your 9-year-old’s soccer net into the back of your SUV—only to end up slamming the hatch and praying it closes—you already know: cargo space matters.
