Buying a car, private sale...am I insured?

Question

I am going to be buying a car from a private sale.

I will need to drive the car home...how can I be insured when I'm doing this?

Answer 1

Once you've agreed to purchase the vehicle you contact your insurance company and get it insured BEFORE you take delivery!  Many insurance companies can provide quotes on line and deliver an electronic insurance card that you just print out and carry with you.  Don't even THINK of driving it home without getting insurance first!

Answer 2

you buy the car you buy insurance then you drive
