Selling a junk or dead car in Glassboro

If the project is over, we buy whole non-running and junk cars. You sell the whole car as it sits, half-finished repairs and all, and pickup is free anywhere in the US.

Section 442-2, rule by rule

Garaged cars are fine. "Any number of abandoned vehicles may be maintained so long as they are garaged and completely out of view."

One outdoor project car is allowed. "If mechanically inoperative and/or not garaged, one abandoned vehicle may be maintained only if the owner or other authorized person is actively engaged in repairing, restoring, rebuilding" it. A second dead car outside has no such allowance.

The 60-day presumption. Sixty straight days without the car becoming roadworthy and the borough presumes the work has stopped.

Public land is off limits. It is unlawful to abandon a vehicle on a borough street or highway, a municipal parking lot, borough property, or Board of Education property.

If a stalled restoration sounds familiar, old project car covers selling one before the parts scatter.

The 48-hour notice and what follows

When a car breaks those rules, the owner or lessee of the property must remove it "within 48 hours of written notice." The notice can come from the Glassboro Police Department, the Zoning Officer, a Code Enforcement Officer or another authorized borough official. If the car is still there, the same officials may remove it under the removal and sale steps in sections 442-3 and 442-4.

After an impound, section 442-3 has the police chief or another authorized official notify the registered owner in writing, "by personal service or by certified mail," within 10 days.

Title paperwork for a Glassboro sale

Every New Jersey transfer goes through an MVC agency counter; the state does not process them by mail. In a private sale the buyer is the one who goes. Your part: sign the title's back where the seller signs, and write out a bill of sale showing sale price, mileage, date, plus the buyer's name and street address. Ten working days after the sale, an untransferred New Jersey title draws a $25 penalty.

Plates and lost titles

Unbolt the plates first. The state wants them returned to an MVC agency or reused on another of your cars. If the title vanished somewhere during the project, $60 buys a duplicate; schedule a Vehicle Center visit and bring form OS/SS-UTA.
