Is it illegal selling a car to minor?

It is illegal in most jurisdictions to sell a car to a minor. Minors are not legally able to enter into contracts, so any agreement to sell a car to a minor would be voidable. Additionally, selling a car to a minor could be considered a form of child endangerment, as minors are not legally allowed to drive and therefore would not be able to safely operate the vehicle.

In some cases, it may be possible to sell a car to a minor if the minor has a co-signer who is an adult. The co-signer would be legally responsible for the car and would be liable for any damages or injuries caused by the minor while driving the vehicle.

It is important to note that the laws regarding the sale of cars to minors vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. It is always best to consult with an attorney or other legal professional to ensure that you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
