My 16 year old daughter is purchasing a vehicle from a private seller in Colorado. The seller said she has heard that it is illegal to sell to a teenager. Is this true?

Your 16-year-old daughter should be able to buy a car Colorado. But, a parent or legal guardian will probably have to co-own the car until she turns 18-years-old. Until she turns 18, she is a minor. Minors are not permitted to enter a legally binding contract on their own. After your daughter turns 18, she will be able to buy any car on her own. If she buys the car, she has a regular driver’s license, and needs car insurance, depending the state which she resides.

Your daughter may be able to enter her zip code, hit the ‘new quote’ button, so she can obtain a car insurance quote. Also, she will also be able to buy her policy immediately too online!!!
