There is no age restriction if you are paying cash. You must be 18 to enter into a finance agreement/transaction though.

Purchasing a car involves a contract. The minimum legal age for one to join into contract is 18.

Your father isn't mendacity to you. paying for a vehicle the two by using a broking or a private occasion is an identical factor as entering right into a settlement. however in case you pay in finished. Minors (those below the age of 18) can not legally enter into any settlement. If something is misguided with the vehicle, and you have bought it not being of age, your settlement is void and you have no recourse against whoever you obtain it from.

For any contract (like buying a car) to be valid you have to be at least 18. Anyone younger would need a parent or guardian to sign for them. My friend (with the help of his father) bought a car when he was 15. Although he paid with his cash for the car, legally his father bought the car.

legal age is 18, however with an older person you may purchase and title a car in many states together.

ya i agree with 'ethol'. anybody can 'buy' anything they want. especially from a private party. who's says u cant? the state might say u cant drive/operate it without a license, or old enough to drive; but i'd sue whoever tried to stop me from buying and cite that they are discriminating against my age.

18....and even then your lack of credit would make you need a co signer to finance
