Can the seller of an automobile transfer his auto insurance to the buyer as a stopgap until the buyer purchases his own policy?

No, a seller of an automobile cannot normally transfer his insurance to the buyer of the vehicle in a private party sale.

The buyer should inform his or her insurance company about the upcoming purchase before buying the vehicle so they will be covered. If for some reason the sale of the car falls through the insurance company can be informed of this and not place the car on the policy.
