My parent buying me a car before I get my license? - 1

I'm 17. I'm eligible to get my license October 9th and my birthday is December 9th. I was looking for cars even though I have a couple more weeks but to get myself prepared, to learn more about the responsibility of having one, the cost and insurance. I'm not looking for anything expensive or brand new because I'm paying for my car all by myself just for 2 months. I have 2 jobs and a senior in high school but I love it.
Anyways. I came across a 2000 Honda Accord and a 2002 Toyota Corolla from cars.com which I believe they are calling my name! Haha! Btw I will check out the cars in person and already found out the historys. But I wanted to buy it as soon as I can before anyone claims it. My dad is my legal guardian and has custody of me. He wants me to get a car and my license so bad because of me having 2 jobs and he's always too busy so he'll pay someone to take me to work sometimes. So he couldnt wait til my birthday. I was wondering if he could purchase the car and then when I get my license or when I'm 18, it could be in my name or my name on something? He actually doesn't know the answer to this question for a minor (BTW I'm not buying it in cash, I'm financing) but please help! I need more info!

THATS FINE All my friends do that

In California there's a $50 fee to transfer a car from one family member to another. There's no sales tax on the transaction. Check your state laws because paying sales tax twice or full registration fees is not worth it.

Its fine to transfer a car back and forth in a family. Y.our 17? And planning to finance a car? Not gonna happen

  • Shoud I buy the motorcycle before or after I get my license and gear? I found an interesting offer on a Honda CB500 from 1993 but I don't have my license nor gear. I'm afraid that if I don't buy it now I might loose it. What do you think? Of course I don't plan on riding with no gear. I'm going to store the motorcycle until it's 100% safe

  • How do I get license plates and registration after purchasing a car from the dealership? I bought a "certified used" Honda from a honda dealership in North Carolina. They gave me a slip of paper that says 30 day temporary marker receipt and a paper tag. I paid for the tax and tag so I assume they are handling this. But do I need to pay them a visit to pick up my tag? How does this work. It wasn't explained well. Any advice is appreciated. I haven't calle them yet because I want to be a bit more educated so I don't sound stupid when I call.
