A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is the difference between scrapping a car and selling it for parts?

Scrapping a car means selling it to a scrap yard for its metal weight, typically the lowest-value option. Selling for parts means either parting the car out yourself (listing individual components) or selling to a salvage dealer who does the parting. Parting out takes more time and effort but can yield significantly more money, especially if the car has newer or in-demand components like an engine, transmission, or catalytic converter.

I just leased a new car with them yesterday and it was a fantastic and easy experience. Charlie was incredibly helpful and thorough. I had the car delivered 24 hours after my first conversation with Charlie! I'll never visit a dealer again. I highly recommend Vantage Auto 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

From start to finish, purchasing my new Jeep was seamless and refreshingly honest. Every question was answered clearly with zero pressure, and I really appreciated the straight talk. An easy, smart decision all around.

Great experience with Vantage. Was able to avoid the hassle of going to multiple car dealerships and the service was great. They Dropped off my new car, picked up my trade in and handed me a check. Will definitely use them in the future.

“Easy and pain free.” Say that about anything and it’s positively notable. Say that about car shopping and it’s pleasantly surprising. Thanks to David, Sebastian and team for their soup to nuts support.
