A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Can they charge me for dealer prep on a used car?
Yes, but it's still junk. Used cars need reconditioning (detailing, minor repairs), but that's a cost of doing business—not something they should charge you separately. Push back: "Dealer prep is included in the asking price. Remove the fee or reduce the car price."

Leased a brand new VW Tiguan for my daughter’s 17th birthday. Great pricing! Excellent service! No problem. Will recommend and come back when lease expires. Great job!

I recently leased a car through Vantage Auto Group in Watchung, NJ, and worked directly with Sean Ulsaker. The experience was nothing short of remarkable. No pressure, no obligation, no haggling—just honest, efficient, and top-tier service.My car broke down on a Monday. I contacted Sean, and by Thursday, I had a new vehicle delivered to my place of business. He guided me through car recommendations, arranged test drives the very next day, handled all the paperwork, and made the entire process seamless. I didn’t even have to leave my office.From now on, I’ll be working exclusively with Vantage Auto and recommending them to anyone looking for a stress-free car leasing experience. Sean and the team truly go above and beyond. thank you Sean for the excellent service. First time leasing a car and not having to take headache pills.Again, thanks! Manny Barrueco
