Yes, it is legal. However, you should have the vehicle inspected by an ASE certified mechanic before you purchase the car. If it's new there may be some problems within the air bag and this needs to be documented by the dealership so they can report it to the vehicle manufacturer.
If it's a used car, there may still be issues with the electronics or the air bag ignition systems. You may want to contact the local police department in your neighborhood and inquire as to if the vin number on the vehicle matches any that have been in an accident.
