Had the pleasure of working with Zeran “Z” . He did a great job extremely nice!
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

I had an amazing experience at NJ Auto Sales!
I had an amazing experience at NJ Auto Sales! The service was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A special shoutout to Mina Rizk, he’s hands down the best salesman I’ve ever worked with. He was knowledgeable, honest, and really took the time to understand what I was looking for. Mina made the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a great deal and top-notch service, ask for Mina. He’s the guy you want on your side!
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

I recently visited Champion Auto Sale Of JC and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, answering all my questions without making me feel pressured to make a decision. The selection of vehicles was impressive, with a variety of makes and models to suit different budgets and preferences. I appreciated how transparent they were about pricing, financing options, and vehicle history. It made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. The dealership itself was clean and well-organized, which added to the positive experience. After test-driving a few cars, I ended up finding the perfect vehicle, and the purchasing process was smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend Champion Auto Sale Of JC to anyone looking for a reliable car and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases or service needs!

Very professional.
Very professional. Not pushy. I took my time. Test drove my truck twice. Inspected twice. Negotiated a bit. Spent a lot of time here and drove 2 hours to get there. I searched for specific vehicle for a while. This was my biggest vehicle purchase ever so I wanted it to be right but in my price range also. Thanks JR and Moose. I would recommend this dealer.
