I have to go with most of the other answers. If you pay cash, you can purchase the car. The registration process requires you to have insurance to drive it.
Before you purchase a car, call an insurance agent and get the prices for insurance. That may have some affect on the type and model of car that you purchase.
good luck.

No, my husband had bought a car without any insurance. Its not a compulsion its just better with insurance...but he was a student that time and could not afford it.
It also depends on the State u live in.

Yes for one unless you pay cash you have to have valid insurance before you can get a loan and drive it off the lot. Some dealers require proof of Insurance for a test drive..

"Purchase"? No. To legally operate it once off the dealer's lot, register, and title it - yes (in most States). Don't even think of non-insurance, if it is a State-mandated regulation. Besides being dangerous, you're open to fine, suspension of license and in some States even jail. Good luck!

It really depends on who you are buying from. If it is from a private seller then not necessarily. You do though have to have insurance to get the vehicle registered. If the states finds a registered vehicle in your name, and no insurance associated with it then you will have your license suspended. I have witnessed this SEVERAL times.

Nope. You can buy it and leave it sit on the lot for a while, but if you want to drive it, you need insurance.

If you are getting a loan for a car they will require you to have full coverage while they still own the vehicle.
