| New Vehicle When
a new motor vehicle is sold in New Jersey, the manufacturer, agent or a dealer must
execute and deliver to purchaser an assignment of the certificate of origin, with names
and addresses of both stated thereon, and certified to have been executed with full
knowledge of the contents and with the consent of both purchaser and seller. See
New Jersey Permanent Statutes 39:10-8 |
| Security
Interest In New Vehicle If, in connection with the sale, a security
interest is taken or retained by seller to secure all or part of purchase price of motor
vehicle, or is taken by a person who by making advance or incurring obligation gives
value to enable purchaser to acquire rights in motor vehicle, the name and address of
secured party or assignee must be noted on manufacturer's certificate of origin. This
section does not apply to security interests in motor vehicles which are inventory held by
dealer for sale, because these interests are perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code
provisions of chapter 9 of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes. See
New Jersey Permanent Statutes 39:10-8 |
