Your 16-year-old son should be able to purchase a vehicle. However, a parent or legal guardian will probably have to co-own the vehicle until he turns 18-years-old. Until he turns 18, he is a minor. Minors are not allowed to enter a legally binding contract on their own. After your son turns 18, he will be able to purchase any vehicle on his own. If he purchases the vehicle, he has a regular driver's license, and needs insurance, depending the state which he resides, CarInsurance.com represents an insurance company that allows him to purchase insurance as a minor. The insurance company is Esurance. Besides his own driver's license, he will also need an e-mail address, and his own credit card, checking account, or savings account. (Because they e-mail information instead of mailing it and directly debit the account for the down payment, monthly payments 30-day payments, and renewal down payments.)
