What are some unique things to do in the State of New Jersey?

How do I buy a used car out of state?

• I live in Pennsylvania, and I found a particular car I liked being sold in New Jersey (about an hour and a half away). This is my first time buying a car, so I'm not sure of how it all works to begin with. Buying out of state does seem to complicate things, and I'm not quite ready to buy so I can't just go ahead and call the dealer... and I'd like to have some idea of what I'd be getting into before calling anyway. Do you have to wait to get the title switched before driving the car off the lot? Would this require 2 trips then (one to see it, and one to pick it up later)? Even though it has up to date NJ inspection, would I have to get PA inspections? Is there any way to work the inspections in before or with the purchase? Is there anything weird with taxes? Any info especially regarding specifically PA residents buying used cars in NJ would be great help!

• Answer:

  You go to NJ, and purchase the car.. if there is financing involved, the dealer will have the title sent to the financier, you get a bill of sale.....if you are paying cash he will give you a bill of sale and the previous title, you will get all inspections necessary in PA done, take all paperwork required to PA DMV, and pay sales tax in PA.. they will sell you plates, mail you new title....
