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.

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!

I just leased my new 2026 Nissan Rogue through Vantage Auto Group, and the experience was fast, easy, and completely stress-free. I worked with Charles Serpone, who was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional every step of the way. He listened to what I wanted and helped me get the exact price I was aiming for. I couldn’t be happier with the process — highly recommend Vantage Auto Group and Charles for anyone looking to lease their next vehicle!

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.
