S 2087 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 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 is" under specific conditions, directly affecting buyers and dealers. It bans deceptive practices like misrepresenting certified vehicles when odometers are rolled back, vehicles have flood damage, frame issues, or incomplete inspections. Dealers must offer buyers a contract allowing returns without cause within 2 business days (after delivery), with fees capped at $250 for vehicles under $30,000 and a 250-mile driving limit. The law also requires clear disclosure of vehicle history (e.g., "salvage" titles) and prohibits disclaiming warranties, aiming to increase transparency in used car sales.
