The Van KC Vantage Program

The VANtage Promise is built on three brand pillars-Trust, Value, and Confidence-designed to turn buying pre-owned into a proof-backed, low-stress experience. We earn Trustthrough complete transparency: full vehicle history, a multi-point VANtage inspection (including Missouri Vehicle Inspection), and clear documentation that helps customers "know the facts" and buy with total information.

We deliver Value with real numbers and proof-based pricing-vehicles priced at or below market book values, strong trade valuations, and tailored financing supported by competing lenders-so customers can feel confident they're getting a fair deal without guesswork.

And we create Confidence by removing risk after the sale: a 3-day/150-mile exchange policy to eliminate buyer's remorse, plus optional protection plans like MPP, Club Plus coverage, and GAP Coverage to protect their investment and keep them secure on the road ahead.

      Great site

      Easy to get the value for your vehicle, minimal distractions, easy to enter other vehicles. The only hassle was adding extra words and email to this review.

      I like it

      by Mark on 11/27/2025 4:22:54 PM

      Bought my 2016 Forester new and got about $4k off the sticker price. I maintain it very well and do the work myself. I’ve had to replace the shift safety interlock mechanism at around 80k miles, due to occasionally being unable remove the key from the ignition; replaced rear wheel hub at 130k miles; replaced infotainment head (radio) at about 100k miles. Biggest disappointment is the mediocre a/c that doesn’t blow very cold when it is really hot outside. It’s a very easy car to work on and maintain. New cars today are way overpriced, and I dislike the over abundance of angst inducing “safety” features so I’m going to keep my Forester and swap out the engine and trans. with salvage yard replacements when my engine and trans. give up the ghost.

      Mostly enjoyed it until the computer began failing

      by rbinsc on 11/10/2025 10:09:28 PM

      Bought my "Pearl" '17 Subaru Forester used in 2020 or 21. The best things about it, hands down, were the great visibility from the big windows, high safety rating, ground clearance and rear passenger legroom + cargo space. It got decent gas mileage for mostly in-town driving. On the highway it had lousy road noise, so backseat passengers can't follow a conversation happening in front. I would have kept it until the wheels fell off, but the onboard computer started going haywire and the replacement cost was hefty for an 8 yo vehicle. Aside from road noise, my main complaints were the awful infotainment interface and tiny (useless) backup camera screen. So last November I decided to upgrade to the quieter, hybrid '21 Toyota Venza.
