A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

What is a doc fee when buying a car?

A doc fee, short for documentation fee, is a charge dealers add to cover the cost of processing your sale paperwork, including title, registration, and contract preparation. In New Jersey, there is no legal cap on doc fees, so they can range from $200 to $900 or more depending on the dealership. The fee is negotiable at most dealers, even if they tell you otherwise.

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’ve always used brokers to get my car, It’s definitely much easier than going to the dealers and getting screwed over later.Brandon and his team were a great help In helping me find a car that suited my needs. Although I was a little skeptical, cause I’ve only done it one other time, but the process was quick and easy. I wanted to carbefore February, and Vantage Motor delivered, I mean actually delivered the car to my house.Only thing I had to do was decide which one I wanted. Will definitely be using them again for my next car!

This was my first time using a car broker, and it was a great experience. The entire process was incredibly smooth and easy from start to finish. Communication was clear, responses were quick, and they were very patient while answering questions and walking me through everything. I work in operations, so I tend to notice when processes are organized and efficient, and I really appreciated how straightforward and seamless they made the entire experience. What is usually a stressful process felt simple and well managed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an easier way to lease or purchase a vehicle.

I am a 79 year old man. So by this time I have had plenty of cars and dealings with car salesmen/brokers. Vantage Auto Group is far above the rest. Their responsiveness and aim to please the customer is incredibly rare. I would recommend them to anyone interested in buying or leasing a vehicle,

My car leasing experience with Vantage was fantastic. Sean took an overwhelming decision and process and made it so easy. He was available morning, noon, and night as well as weekends. He never pressured me and simply gave me facts and possibilities and recommendations. The experience was really amazing from the start and I’m extremely grateful for his help in making the car leasing process manageable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy or lease a car. Sarah
