Is it Illegal to sell a motorcycle to somone at the age of 17 in new jersey

Question

Hey, Im 17, i have the money to purchase a motorcycle. My Mother does not want me to purchase this motorcycle. Legally in the great state of new jersey can this man sell me the motorcycle being 17? I understand I cannot register or Insure it unless my mother signs for it or I become 18, but can I purchase the bike?

Answer 1

You can purchase it legally, but if you or he want a sales contract (Bill of Sale) for the sale you will not be legally allowed to execute it.  

Answer 2

You can buy anything you want other than items regulated by law cigarettes beer etc. other than that its open game, I don't know how your mom would react but yeah.. you can buy it, what you can do with it I can't tell you, better off to wait until your 18 cause all your going to do is look at it until then.

If your mom choses though because you are a minor she can revoke the sale and take it to court the question is... how stubborn is your mom ;0) good luck!

Answer 3

You do not have the age to enter a contract.  Many people will try it. And often the parents will demand the money back and they will have to return it.

I even saw a motorcycle dealer return money to a parent.  I think the dealer knew and hoped that the parents didn't.

good Luck...
