any one ever register a car in nj that only came with a bill of sale ?
 

im looking at buying a 60s mustang from ny it doesnt come with the transferable registration :( but the guy will give me a bill of sale is there any way id be able to register it in jersey with just the bill of sale ?

LOL...I am in the same boat....I dont have the title bc the loan company has to send it to me...I just have a bill of sale for now.

I don't remember the specifics from a non-titled NY car. I remember reading a little about it a few weeks ago when I bought my Jeep though - since I got it from NY.

Need clear title, then re-title under the new owner. Once you do that then you can register it in NJ.

New cars come with Cert of Orgin then get a clean title from the state.

???????????? this isnt a new car

You can't title it without an actual clear title. Been there done that. If the title is lost and you have possesion of the car you can get another title reissued through Broadway title but it may not always work, takes a while, and may not be cheap.

from doing my research in the past broadway title is nothing more then a waist of time :(

and when i called trenton today they said as long as i had the registration from the last owner id be fine so trying to convince the guy to get a duplicate registration :)



this is just one of the things that proves how much jersey sux

Then you must not have been very thorough. My brother got a title for his '70 Chevelle from there. Took a few months, but he got it and has the car registered now... but that's in PA. I'm not sure if that is what matters.

well im gona going by from what iv read that other people on all diff forums have posted from them and the general thought was they were a worthless company

Have these people actually used Broadway? On a car that they know isn't stolen?

beats me thats just the general thought i got after reading so many diff storys involving broadway over the years and its not like it matters much anyways sense broadway titles arnt accepted in new jersey

my 2 cents doing this 35 years -- jersey with out of state titles or reg-as will do a back round check -- i know this to be true we build Harley's and have forever it seems and titles are always a thing with them -- if the last titled owner ows money to bank of judgments or it was reported stolen the state will ask you to bring it to the state police - and all your paper work -- i have learned it takes up to 6 months after a title is even issued by new jersey to believe a car bike is OK i have had it happen in my shop many times with e bay stuff -- they take it ( state police ) and if they think you had any part in the underhanded deal -- u get cuffed on the spot had that happen as well -- so if no title don't care if they give it to me we stay away -- just so u no -- jz

NY doesn't have titles on cars that old. You'll need a copy of his registration, do a VIN tracing with pencil and paper when you get the car and the bill of sale. Get the bill of sale notarized as well. It shouldn't be an issue but they will need the old registration.
