About Paul Sansone

Paul Sansone Jr has been an auto dealer since 1985. He was Director of Operations at Sansone Auto Network, a 26-acre complex including Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Mazda, Suzuki, and Lincoln Mercury from 1995 to 2009, and grew the dealership from 4,500 to sales per year. Paul was also on the National Dealer Council for Mazda for 3 years including 2 years as President (19••••01). In 2009, Paul acquired Sansone Jr’s 66 Automall, which consists of Nissan, Kia, and Mitsubishi dealerships, and has since added another Nissan and Kia dealership. His Nissan dealership has achieved the Nissan Award of Excellence seven years in a row and Kia has earned “Kia’s Presidents Club” In 2010, Paul formed the PMB Group which includes Tier 4 Marketing, EZ Referral Network, and Dealer Controlled Leasing. Tier 4 Marketing and EZ Referral Network provides the technology and training for salespeople to market themselves under the dealership umbrella which benefits both parties. Dealer Controlled Leasing provides the technology and training for a “Dealer Owned” subprime leasing company.Dealer Controlled Leasing has recently acquired its technology partner AFS Dealers Inc. This purchase accelerates the expansion of DCL as a DMS provider within the independent dealer network that it already serves as well as, opens the door for franchised dealers to install LHPH as a separate department within their dealerships.Sansone Jr’s LHPH operations (NJ Auto Lending) started in December 2020 to support his retail operations. Providing a unique lending option to “good people with low credit scores”. To date, NJ Auto Lending has originated 650 subprime leases with over 100 customers successfully converting to traditional lending. As a way of giving back to the community, Paul created \"Hope for a Ride”. Partnering with local churches and non-profits to donate vehicles to families in need. A few months ago, one recipient was ready to purchase her first new car and she donated her \"Hope for a Ride\" vehicle to someone else in need.Paul has been happily married for over 30 years to Christine Sansone. Christine is also the spokesperson in all the radio and television commercials for the dealership. His two sons work with him at the dealership and his daughter has recently graduated from the College of Charleston. He has been a resident of Monmouth Beach for 35 years and during his day off you\'ll either find him hanging with his family at the beach or on the golf course.
