Did you buy a car before you were 18?

I need your help on some research. . .

If you ever bought a boat, car, motorcycle or RV, registered it, and received title in your name - BEFORE you were 18 years old - without a co-signer - would you please let me know what State you did this in?

I know this can be "legally" done in Texas, New York, and a dozen other states - I am trying to find out what other states allow someone under the age of 18 to do this as well - and if there is any State in the US that does not allow it.

Thank you very much for your input!

    Unless you are going to be operating complete time whilst you get out of prime tuition, purchasing a brand new auto, inspite of that a lot support out of your dad and mom, perhaps a economic worry. The Mustang, notably (until you can nonetheless be for your dad and mom' coverage). When you've a mortgage on a auto, you must have collision and complete coverage. This can significantly broaden the fee. And an 18 12 months historical driving force with a Mustang is among the so much pricey mixtures there's. I knew a man within the Air Force at tech tuition. He used to be an 18 12 months historical E1, making approximately one thousand greenbacks monthly. He drove a a million 12 months historical Honda Prelude. Insurance and his auto cost have been approximately 800 greenbacks monthly. You do not desire to be that man. Any of those automobiles new, or virtually new might be an anchor to your price range. An older Mustang would not be that dangerous (coverage could be inexpensive, and of path it could fee much less), of path. But if you are going to recall that you will have lots of train earlier than you get there. As for which one is great, it is dependent what you are watching for and the way you force. The Mustang might be quickest in a instantly line. The Mini might be quickest round corners. The FJ might be great off-street, however should not be pushed just like the Mustang or Mini on-street. The Mini is higher than an older Mustang in phrases of protection, a brand new Mustang is plenty in the direction of it, regardless that. The automobiles you are evaluating are so specific, it turns into entirely a question of alternative. I'd opt for the Mini, considering that I like agility.
