I may be talking out my A$$, but I'm pretty sure that if you don't turn the plates in and then go to register say in 2 years, they will try and hit you up for each year that has passed since you registered it.

no as long as you dont sell the car and there is no need for another title it shouldnt cost anymore to re-register at a later date.

It will cost you $$$ for every year for the registration. Gaps are not allowed.

 

Scott, he is only reregistering it, not retitling.

so if I renew the registration in like 4 months from now.. it won't be that big of a deal?

If you reregister it in 4 months it won't cost more. If you reregister it in a year and four months you will be hit with 2 years worth of fees.

I love how I had to pay NJ each year for the privilege of continuing my exact same car registration.

thanks for all the info it is appreciated.... I just can't stomach the thought of renewing my registration on a car that is off the road.. lol

that's fine and all.. but I just don't feel like spending the money now.. when the car is off the road.. and my work situation has gotten pretty questionable (keeping an eye out for other lines of work)..

 

I just want to know that when I renew I will just pay one or two years of fees.. and not have a giant fiasco at DMV..

DO you enjoy paved roads? or a place to have your car inspected for free? People dont work for free.

 

Vlad make sure the car can't been seen from the road too or at least the plates, i've herd of cars being towed from peoples driveways because they didn't have plates on it or the registration was expired. Usually due to town ordinances.

good precaution.. but it is no where near my house.. it has been off the road at a friends shop for a couple months.. in the middle of a project with swapping the motor and all.. with losing my job not sure when I can finish it..

Hmmm

I sold one of my cars, let the registration expire and then registered a new car with the same plates about 2 years later and I don't remember paying anything extra. There was a catch though but it wasn't a fine.

They know the month of the original expiration and the registration was valid from the month I went to MVC till expiration month of the same year.

So the first car registration expired in December, I bought a new car in June, paid full amount and registration expired in December.

wow... thanks a lot for all the information.. LOL I posted this expecting to get something like "yeah its ok" lol but instead I got this huge wealth of info! it really is taking a little weight off of my shoulders right now!

The guy at MVC wasn't making a big deal out of it, in fact was pushing new plates on me because he was saying it's a cheaper option.

The only reason why I kept mine was because I didn't want to remember the new ones and had them registered everywhere (from ezpass to parking etc).
