LEASE RETURNS

Vista Auto Sales has been affiliated with PHH, now Element Vehicle Management for over 30 years and has become the leading remarketing center in the Northwest.

THE RELATIONSHIP

The successful relationship that has been attained between Vista Auto Sales and element vehicle management is solely due to a superior product that is ready for resale. Element sets certain standards of services and conditions on which a client must maintain to achieve maximum resale value. On the average, these corporate lease returns are more efficiently taken care of compared to the “ordinary” used car. And these corporate lease returns are not to be confused with the “rental car” which has several different operators who will not take responsibility for poor driving habits when renting a vehicle. Element vehicles are operated by drivers like you; they depend on their vehicles every day for their primary transportation. Compare our pre-owned vehicles and prices with other used cars and you will see the difference.
