How do I move a car in New Jersey? (for sale, rent)

[0512ny]

How do I move a car that has been parked at a storage in NJ to a private residence in order to sell it? The reason of the car relocation is because the person showing the car for sale lives almost two hours away. (Note the person selling the car is not the owner just a friend helping out) This is the reason why the car needs to be moved to his home. but the registration is expired, this car was bought in PA and never registered in NJ. All is available is the car title. I dont think its safe to drive the car with the expired registration from storage to private residence.

Would the registration need to renewed in Pennsylvania in order to sell it in New jersey?

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Tow truck.

It would be best to tow it, either with a trailer, or tow truck. Don't forget you'd be driving and unregistered, uninsured, and possibly fictitious plates. 2 hours is a long drive. Try going to Uship and see what kind of offers you get, call some towing companies, U-haul can rent a truck and a towing rig, (you drive the front wheels of the car onto the tow rig). Then the tow rig is the registered vehicle. Price it all out.
Or if you know someone in the auto business with a dealer plate that works too.

Yep if you get caught, pulled over for any reason and the car is uninsured its like a mandatory year I think that you lose your license and your insurance would go way up for being suspended and things snowball from there.

Tow truck, find a friend who has like long distance AAA towing or something, that would be cheapest.

Cheapest legal way is probably to put it back on the insurance, renew the registration and drive it.

You don't say how far of a distance but just have it towed and let the new owner worry about registration and insurance.Moving my daughter from LA to Maryland this summer and it will run about $850.New registration,Insurance and state inspection might run you more than that.

Thank you very much, I decided to tow the car, looking for tow companies in NJ. Very expensive but its the only way

I think,,, if some of your friends or relatives might have the upgraded AAA towing they might be able to do this on their service. I'm not a member but they have local towing. maybe 5 miles or so, then for a slightly higher fee they have I think 100 mile towing meaning you only pay for anything extra over 100 miles. I think its still supposed to be registered, i think that's just a way they try to prevent people from abusing it for cases like this, but most of the time the towing driver might not check or maybe slip him a decent tip?

The club member should be there maybe at pickup or dropoff, I've helped some frinds have cars they bought towed on their club accounts.

There are also towing companies that offer long distance car shipping like if you buy a car on Ebay and its in anywhere, Utah, Calif, etc they ship cars. Look on Ebay cars in shipping.

How about towing it to the nearest CarCash location and selling it to them. It may not be the best price, but no need to register the car or have insurance, etc.
