Can a minor buy a car with a companion?

Answer 1

It is illegal to sell a minor a vehicle without the parent or legal gaurdian on the deal as well. It is not illegal to buy a car if you are a minor. A minor has the right to enter into a contract (both verbal and written) for anything. However the minor may set aside the whole and not part of the contract before they reach the age of majority. The adult who makes the contract is bound to the contract terms. The only exception is if the minor enters into a contract for an item of necessity to minor's subsistence. Such examples are food and housing. The last question is to determine if a car is a necessity to a minor

Answer 2

Minors that have not been legally emancipated cannot be held to the terms of a contract. You must be at least 18 to sign a contract. If someone is willing to co-sign with you and take full responsibility, you would be able to buy a car. If there is no contract involved, you are paying cash for the car, there shouldn't be any problem.
