I received a letter from the NJ Motor Vehicle commission telling me my 1988 300CE no longer had to be inspected. They instructed me to remove the inspection sticker (which is still there) from the front windshield and carry a copy of the letter in the glove box, which I have done.
Fwiw, I have 153,000 on the Odometer, 112,000 are mine since 2001.
