How Dealerships Mark Up Used Cars (And How You Avoid It)
Here's what happens when you buy from a traditional used car lot:
DEALERSHIPS
They buy at auction: $22,000
They park it on their lot for 30 days.
They list it for: $26,500
Their markup: $4,500
You're paying $4,500 for:
• Them to park the car
• A salesperson's commission
• Their fancy showroom
• "Market adjustments" + fees
We do it differently.

After 30 years of car buying this has been the best experience I’ve had. Sean has been helpful, resourceful and easy to work with. I’ll never go back to the archaic dealership process again.

Such a wonderful experience with Sean and his team at Vantage Auto Group. Imagine not having to sit at a dealership for several hours. That alone is worth the 5 star review. Add to that how knowledgeable Sean is, how he actually wants to get you the best deal, and how little stress you'll experience throughout the entire process, and 5 stars just aren't enough. I would recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone!

My car was delivered right to my house - it’s just what I asked for - Tom went out of his way to locate the vehicle I was interested in. No haggling at the dealership - everything was taken care of and signing paperwork online was easy. I’m very happy with the process and efficiency of Vantage. Tom even brought toys and treats for my cats !! Thanks so much

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!

Common Questions About Buying Used Cars
We show you the numbers. You see what we paid at auction or to the private seller. You see our fee. Full transparency. Plus you get a CarFax report and our 100-point inspection results before you buy.
Current inventory: Same day if we have it.
Custom search: 3-7 days average.
The more specific you are, the better.
"I want a reliable SUV" takes longer than "I want a 2020-2022 Honda CR-V with under 40K miles."
90-day powertrain warranty covers major components. Plus 24-hour roadside assistance.
And you get 3 days to change your mind. Drive it. If something feels off, exchange it.
We're here to make everything easier, not harder. Our 90-day powertrain warranty covers major components. Plus 24-hour roadside assistance.
And you get 3 days to change your mind. Drive it. If something feels off, exchange it.
Yes. We'll arrange to have the car on-premise in Watchung, NJ or we'll bring it to you for a test drive.
We're not going to pressure you. If it's not the right car, we keep looking.
Because we're not trying to run a car lot.
Big lots with 200 cars have massive overhead: rent, insurance, staff, lights. Someone's paying for that. (Hint: it's you.)
We keep our costs low. We find YOUR car. You save money.
Yes! Delivery to your driveway anywhere in the continental United States for FREE.
Send us the listing. We'll tell you if it's a good deal or if there's something off about it.
We're not here to upsell you. If someone else has a better deal, we'll tell you. (And maybe offer you a job—kidding, not kidding)
We all have mouths to feed, so of course we're making a little something. Typically, we earn $1,200-$1,500 per car. We help so many people that the volume keeps us going.
Small margin, high volume. We'd rather help 30 families save $3,000 than sell 10 cars with $5,000 markups.
Plus happy customers send us their friends.
3 days or 150 miles. If you're not happy, exchange it for another vehicle.
Not a refund—an exchange. We'll find you a different car.
No. Clean titles only. We don't buy salvage, rebuilt, or flood-damaged vehicles.
If a car has accident history, we tell you upfront and the CarFax shows it.
