New Jersey Emissions and Smog Laws

Cash for Cars New Jersey

After buying a car in New Jersey, you’ll need to register the vehicle. That will likely require getting your car emissions tested if your car was made after 1995. It’s good to know what that requires. Thankfully, we’re here to help.

Its multiple urban centers and the volume of commuter and visitor traffic statewide can make emissions control imperative for the Garden State. Cars registered in the state must be inspected and undergo an emissions test every other year, with a few listed exceptions. Cars that were manufactured prior to 1995 are generally exempt from this requirement.

Getting Money for Junk Cars in New Jersey? Here's the Title Transfer Procedure

Every state has unique requirements for transferring a title. When selling a junk car for cash, New Jersey is no exception. When transferring a title, accuracy is essential. New Jersey titles require the seller to sign the back of the title on the left side in the section marked “SELLER’S SIGNATURE”.

Anyone listed as “Owner” on the front of the title must sign as “Seller” using the same name shown on the title. Only the “Owner” can sell a vehicle, and the state of New Jersey requires a title for the sale of any car, truck or SUV. So, if you don’t have the vehicle title before you sell your car, you need to make your way to the nearest New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission office for a duplicate title.
