Can I sell a vehicle to a minor who doesn't have a driver's license?
Jimmy from San Fernando, CA asks: Can I (a private owner) sell a vehicle to someone that does not have a drivers license?
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy,
I admit that is a tough question and I had to do some digging to find you an answer. After making several phone calls, performing 3 DNA tests, and playing a little good cop/bad cop at the CADMV, I still couldn't get a clear answer.
I looked on the California DMV website and could not find anywhere that said you could not sell a vehicle to someone without a driver's license, unless that person is a MINOR:
15500. It is unlawful for any minor who does not possess a valid driver's license issued under this code to order, purchase or lease, attempt to purchase or lease, contract to purchase or lease, accept, or otherwise obtain, any vehicle of a type subject to registration.
As always, I recommend calling the CA DMV at 1-800-777-0133 for the definitive answer in this matter. Just tell 'em Jonny Driving School sent you. On second thought, don't!
