S 1725 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Used Car Buyers' Bill of Rights"; prohibits certain "as is" sales of used motor vehicles.

This bill prohibits used car dealers from selling vehicles as "certified" or using misleading terms when specific issues exist, such as odometer fraud, flood damage, frame repairs, or undisclosed title problems. It requires dealers to disclose these conditions before sale and bans disclaimers of warranty for used vehicles. Additionally, dealers must offer buyers a 2-day cancellation option (with a minimum 250-mile allowance) for a full refund minus a capped restocking fee ($75-$250 based on vehicle price), excluding sales over $40,000, salvage titles, or total loss vehicles. The law applies directly to used car dealers and consumers purchasing vehicles under $40,000.
