Selling a dead or junk car in Bayonne

And there's no need to drive or tow it anywhere yourself. We buy whole non-running and junk cars. You sell the whole car as it sits, and pickup is free anywhere in the US, from a street near Collins Park to a shop on the peninsula.

Bayonne's code, and the state's

We did not find Bayonne's municipal code online. That means we don't know how many days Bayonne allows a dead car on a street or driveway. Bayonne may set its own limits, which we could not confirm, and a notice from the city would cite them. The Census Bureau counts 74,744 people on 5.821 square miles here, so a car that never moves gets noticed.

A car stuck at the repair shop

The repair quote tops the car's value, so it ends up parked at the shop. New Jersey has a rule for that. The MVC says a car left at a repair facility more than 60 days without the shop's consent, or 60 days after notice that repairs are done, may be deemed abandoned.

At that point, under N.J.S.A., the shop can move and store the car, sell it, or file for a junk title. 39:10A-9 and the sections after it. If you are weighing the bill, read repairs cost more than it is worth before the 60 days run out. We can pick the car up at the shop.

The title, if you can't find it

New Jersey charges $60 to replace a title. Book a Vehicle Center appointment and bring form OS/SS-UTA. The MVC asks for a registration (even an expired one), insurance proof, or a certified registration record.

When you sell, your signature goes in the seller's spot on the title. Add a bill of sale listing what the buyer paid, the mileage, the date, and the buyer's name and street address. The buyer then visits a motor vehicle agency to put the title in their name. New Jersey does not do that by mail.

Your plates don't go with it

New Jersey plates stay with the person selling, not with the car. Unbolt them before the tow truck leaves. Then either hand them to a motor vehicle agency or fit them to another of your vehicles. They never transfer to the next owner.
