Yes, as long as you have the title or transfer of ownership registration.
You cannot sell or trade a car without a title. Apply for a duplicate title at your local DMV.
Yes. Most insurance will refer to the car by VIN number, and not by license plate.
Sure you can, just like insuring any other personal property.
I had this issue with Carmax. As long as the vehicle is registered to you, you can trade it in without having a copy of your registration. Carmax has access to DMV records and they can verify who owns the vehicle. I'm speaking for California transactions. Not sure about out of state.
As long as you weren't a registered owner. If they trade the car in, then the trade should be paid off by the dealer where they bought the new car. This is actually good for you, since I'm assuming you didn't cosign the newest car loan. You're off the hook.
Yes, i am a dealer in sc, people do it all the time

Yes
In most cases, if the car is registered in your name, your husband cannot legally take it without your permission.
You can only trade in a car that has clear title. Depending on the dealership, it may work to bring the owner of the car with you to sign off on its being a trade. Or, get the title changed at the DMV into your name before shopping for a car. If this is your wife's car, think twice about doing it without her involvement.
No
You can insure a car for it's value or any amount you want. It does not have to be registered. If you are storing a car in a garage for a long period of time, it is a good idea to insure it against and damage.
