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. Look for models with high residuals and manufacturer support — those factors reduce your payment more than any negotiation tactic.

David Alesso made the impossible happen! My family grew & my SUV got very small FAST but I still had a year left on my lease. This was my 2nd time using Vantage Auto Group & David worked a miracle! Yet again, everything was very seamless & easy & my Telluride was delivered right to my door!

I just leased my new 2026 Nissan Rogue through Vantage Auto Group, and the experience was fast, easy, and completely stress-free. I worked with Charles Serpone, who was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way. He listened to what I wanted and helped me get the exact price I was aiming for. I couldn’t be happier with the process — highly recommend Vantage Auto Group and Charles for anyone looking to lease their next vehicle!

Such a wonderful experience with Sean and his team at Vantage Auto Group. Imagine not having to sit at a dealership for several hours. That alone is worth the 5 star review. Add to that how knowledgeable Sean is, how he actually wants to get you the best deal, and how little stress you'll experience throughout the entire process, and 5 stars just aren't enough. I would recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone!
