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.
The quickest and easiest way to buy a used car without a driver's license is to buy from an owner. If you never walk into a dealership you will likely be able to save money and you will have a much quicker transaction. 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.
If you are buying from a car dealership, you are going to be asked several questions. Note that is most states, you are not require to have a driver's license to purchase a car. 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.
Buying a car from a car dealership is a long, drawn out process. There are many ways to make it much quicker. You can pay with cash, decline all the extras and upgrades and have all the other information necessary ready to go. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case for most people. The dealership will want to know if you are trading in your current car. They will want to know how you plan to pay for the new or used car. They will try to sell you every type of insurance there is. If you find a great car dealership that does not push all these extras you will want to shop there for the rest of your time in that specific area.

Buying a Used Ram 1500 Pickup in Eastern North Carolina
Buying a brand new Ram 1500 pickup is not cheap. In fact, you can quickly spend up to $50,000 with just a few upgrades. If you plan on purchasing a 2018 Ram pickup truck, you are not likely to find anything under $30,000. If you are on a budget and in need of a Ram 1500 pickup, a great option is to buy used.
Buying a used Ram 1500 pickup truck is a lot easier than it once was. Prior to 2000, anyone looking to purchase a used "Dodge" Ram pickup truck had to look in a local newspaper in the classified ads or drive around and see what was sitting in front yards. Going for a Sunday drive truly meant driving around and seeing if anyone within 100 miles had a used car or truck for sale. You might drive all the way from Clinton to Raleigh in hopes of finding what you are looking for.
Remember, there was no Craigslist and no car dealerships had a website. You could call your local Dodge dealership but their inventory was limited and you had to go on the lot to start the negotiation process. Things are much different today. You can do almost everything online.
A great option is to start your research on Craigslist. There are dozens of Craigslist locations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Do not limit your research to simply Eastern NC. While it is a great place to start your shopping, it would be smart to look at the prices in Charlotte, Asheville, Wilmington and even Richmond, Virginia. You will want to get a range so you can start negotiating with the person or dealership selling the Ram pickup truck.
Also note that you can email sellers on Craigslist from an anonymous email address. You can make up a fake email address on Gmail or Yahoo and ask some relevant questions. You can also sign up for sales and deals at local dealerships with an email address that you don't check all the time. I would never suggest using the email address you have on your phone. You are likely to get all kinds of emails that you do not want over the course of time.
Once you have scoured the Internet and have communicated with a few for sale by owner options you are ready to come up with the right price for you. You can then go to dealerships, used car lots or anywhere in which you can purchase a used Ram 1500 pickup truck. You may also want to take someone along that is very good "under the hood". You never know what some of these pickup trucks have been through.
