A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Do I need to remove my license plates when selling my car in NJ?
Yes. In New Jersey, license plates belong to the registered owner, not the vehicle. When you sell your car, you must remove your plates before handing over the vehicle. You can transfer the plates to a new vehicle you purchase, surrender them to the NJ MVC, or keep them temporarily if you will be registering another vehicle within a short period. If the buyer needs to drive the vehicle home, they will need a transit plate or dealer permit, or they need to arrange their own transportation until they complete the registration in their name.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
Another five star experience!!! This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased through David and the crew at Vantage. No hassle, no bait and switch, no high pressure sales tactics or incessant follow up phone calls like with a traditional dealership. A few phone conversations with David, and he finds the car you want, with the trim package you want, at the best possible price. Delivery is convenient and the crew are always the constant professionals, taking the time to go over vehicle features and getting you setup to go…. Cant say enough.

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!

I've loved working with Vantage for my last two cars. It's so much better than having to go to multiple dealerships and haggle to get the right make, model and price you're looking for. Their customer service and quick turnaround to getting a car delivered to your door is incredible. Highly recommend them for your car shopping needs!!

We just bought our 3rd car from Dave and his group. They make it so easy not having to go to a dealer, I wouldn't do it any other way. You tell them exactly what you want, they find it, get you a great deal and deliver it.....need I say more!!! Dave is a true professional.

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
