A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Can a dealer buy a car from me without a title in NJ?

Most dealers will not purchase a vehicle without a clear title in hand. However, some dealers and car buying services will work with you to process a lien payoff simultaneously with the purchase, meaning they pay off your remaining loan balance and issue you the equity difference. If the car has no lien but you simply lost the title, many dealers will direct you to obtain a duplicate title first. A few services specializing in purchasing vehicles with title issues exist, but they typically offer below-market prices to account for the additional paperwork risk they are absorbing.

I don’t know where to begin, the experience was that good. After the efficiency, professionalism, honesty, and best pricing hands down, I will never get another vehicle from anyone except Vantage Auto Group. Using anyone else would put you at a Disadvantage!

I rarely write any reviews, I do find it necessary that I write one this time.I haven't purchased a new vehicle for quite some time. When I decided to move forward I dreaded the thought of having to go through the process of dealing with multiple dealerships, gathering quotes etc. and having to deal with pushy, non-transparent sales and finance people. Don't get me wrong, not all dealerships are that way or have staff looking to make big profit margins. If you've bought or leased any vehicle, you know those sales and finance guys are out there looking to make the absolute most profit possible. They get you going this way and that way. That's their business, to make money, I get that but the frustration, time and effort just isn't worth it to me.So, with that said, I was told by Brandon an employee of Vantage Auto Group to give them a try. Tommy C. was my contact and I have to say, from day one this was the best experience I had ever had with purchasing a new vehicle. No hassle, no frustration, no running back and forth to dealerships. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism, transparency in order to satisfy the customer (Me). Aside from a minor setback which was corrected immediately, Tommy came through with the new truck that I was looking for. Hassle free, I received delivery even with a little parting gift which was very much appreciated.I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend using Vantage Auto Group for your next lease or purchase of a new/used vehicle.Thanks again Tommy and All at Vantage Auto GroupA Happy customerAndy

What a fantastic high-quality service! They even detailed my car! I can’t recommend Vantage highly enough! I will never work with anyone else. 10/10 service!
