A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
What are my options at the end of a lease?
At lease end, you generally have three options: return the car to the dealer, buy the car at the residual price, or in some cases transfer or extend the lease. If your car has equity (meaning it is worth more than the residual), buying it out and selling it can put money in your pocket. If it has no equity, simply returning it is usually the cleanest option.

What Our Customers Say
People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
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!

Great customer service! Dave was very responsive and worked hard to find the car we were looking for. His pricing was unbeatable and the vehicle was delivered right to our driveway. There was a small issue with the vehicle from the manufacturer, but Dave and his team have been working hard to rectify it. Goes to show their service doesn’t disappear after delivery, and are committed to developing relationships and making longterm customers.

We purchased a 2026 Volvo through the Vantage Group. From the first contact with David every interaction was done with the utmost professionalism. David kept us up to date during our search which involved several changes. I thoroughly recommend this group and will tell my friends to take advantage of David and his group.

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
