buying car in US

[spursman]

hi there

im in the music business and going to usa for 3 months (on holiday visa) but will be playing music in some bars etc. i would really like to buy a car rather than rent for the whole time. does anyone know if this is possible? would i be able to insure it without a social security number etc?

thanks in advance

You cannot obtain a valid registration tag until you prove that you have adequate liability insurance coverage

It may be difficult to obtain insurance coverage unless you have an address within the USA and a valid state driver's license. Even with a local address, you may be required to pay high insurance prices because the insurer will not be able to check your past driving history records.
