A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Is it a good idea to trade in a leased car early?

It depends on your equity position. If your car is worth more than the remaining lease obligation, trading in early can save you money and get you into a new vehicle sooner. If you are underwater, trading in early means rolling negative equity into your next deal, which increases your payments and total cost. Always check your equity before deciding.

We had some unfortunate events with 2 cars, Vantage made it all the difference in getting us back to normal. They were extremely easy to work with, amazing service and attention to detail, and made buying a car a fantastic experience.

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!

Thank you Vantage Auto for getting me a good deal on an Odyssey! Shout out to Charlie who made this process painless and smooth from beginning to end. Totally beats having to go to the dealership.

Sean and the team are fantastic, and make a complicated process really easy. Not to mention they got us a lease deal on our new jeep at a better price than what we’ve been paying the last 4 years… can’t thank them enough!

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

Sean and Brandon were fantastic! I cannot stress how much easier the car buying process was with Sean’s guidance and network. Brandon was a consummate professional when it came to the delivery of our new car! It was clean and cared for after the long drive down. I cannot stress how much better it was working with them as opposed to going to a dealer. We will be buying all our future cars through Sean at Vantage!

Excellent to work with. Super easy to work with. The staff is great. Dave Alesso was excellent in helping what I was looking for. He sent Nikko to give me the car and he was so helpful showing me the car details. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
