A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Should a new driver get a used car or a new car?
Both approaches have merit depending on the situation. A reliable used car from a trusted brand (Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 from 2020 or newer) offers lower upfront cost and reduced insurance premiums. A new car offers the latest safety technology, a full warranty, and the option to lease with predictable monthly costs. For new drivers who are learning, some parents prefer a less expensive used car to reduce the financial stakes of minor accidents. For new drivers who will be making their own payments, leasing a new vehicle with modern safety features can be more predictable than maintaining an aging used car.

David Bloomberg
The experience with Vantage Auto Group was everything I had hoped for and more. Elka was very responsive, knowledgeable regarding all of my questions and she helped guide me into the car that I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with. I was able to get out a previous lease early & reduce my monthly payment for a car I preferred to be driving. The drop off process to my house was seamless & Niko who dropped off the car was professional, courteous & also answered all the questions I had. I would recommend them to all my friends & family.

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.

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

Great service! Sean worked with me over a couple of weeks to get a car that fit my budget and that I love. They delivered the car right to my house with a full tank of gas, signed some paper work and I was done. 100% would recommend.
