If you are like many, you have questioned whether or not you need a valid driver's license to buy a used car. There are plenty of times in which someone that does not have a license finds a great deal on Craigslist or a used car lot. Just because they do not have a license, they do not want to miss out on the deal. Maybe a license was suspended or the buyer is in the process of getting their license. Fortunately, there are ways to buy a car without a driver's license.

When buying from someone off Craigslist or a classified ad in the newspaper, the seller does not ask for insurance information, does not push any type of long term maintenance package nor do they want to spend any more time with you than necessary.

That said, you will need a driver's license to drive the car off the car lot. You may have to get a friend or a family member to come with you to drive the car off the lot once you make the purchase.

They will try to sell you every type of insurance there is.
