Why Sell Through Vantage

How a Broker Differs From a Dealer

A single dealership has every incentive to offer you as little as possible. Vantage Auto Group is a licensed New Jersey auto broker rather than a single store, so we source offers across our dealer-partner network and you can review your options before deciding. We coordinate the title and registration work with the buying dealership so you are not chasing paperwork, and we coordinate any outstanding loan payoff with the buying dealership as part of the sale. If you would rather put the value toward your next car, you can trade toward a new lease instead, or compare with selling a car in New Jersey.

How It Works

Three Steps to Sell Your Car

STEP 1

Tell Us About Your Car

Year, make, model, mileage, condition, and a few photos. It takes about two minutes, and there is no obligation.

STEP 2

We Source Offers From Our Network

We source a competitive offer across 350+ dealer partners and confirm the exact number with you before anything is final.

STEP 3

We Come to You, and You Get Paid

Complimentary pickup throughout the New York metro area, payment direct to you, and any remaining loan paid off as part of the sale.

Westchester & the Hudson Valley

Paperwork

What Selling a Car in New York Involves

New York does not work the same way New Jersey does, and the plates are the part people get wrong. Here is the short version of what to expect, and what we take off your plate.

Your Title

You will need the vehicle title to transfer ownership. If a lender still holds it because of an outstanding loan, that is normal and we work directly with them on the payoff.

Your Plates

In New York your plates stay with you, not the car. Whether you transfer them to another vehicle or turn them in depends on your situation, and the New York State DMV publishes the current requirements.

The Transfer Itself

The licensed dealership buying your car completes the title and registration work. We coordinate it with them and keep you posted, so you are not standing in a DMV line.

Compare

Broker, Carvana, or CarMax?

All three will buy your car. They arrive at the number in different ways, and that difference is worth two minutes of your time.

VANTAGE

INSTANT-OFFER SITES

One Number, Fast

Carvana and CarMax each generate a single offer from their own pricing model. It is quick and predictable, and for an ordinary, high-supply vehicle it can be perfectly competitive.

OUR ADVICE

Get Both Numbers

Genuinely: collect an instant offer and ours, then take whichever is higher. If theirs is likely to win for your car, we will say so. Start with our full CarMax vs Carvana vs broker breakdown.
