What's the most affordable car to lease in NJ for recent graduates?
Recent grads in NJ typically do best with compact sedans or hatchbacks in the $250–$320/month range. The Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, and Mazda3 are consistently among the most affordable leases.

Working with Vantage Auto Group was a real pleasure. They made the leasing process easy, without any of the normal stress of going to and dealing with the dealership. This is my second time working with Dave and his staff and it was as smooth the second time as it was with the first lease.

Very nice company. They helped me find the vehicle I wanted and helped sell my old car as well. Everyone in the company is great and very helpful explaining all the steps involved. Would highly recommend using them.

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,
