No. You can not drive it off the lot on to the street without insurance. If you already have insurance you have 10 days to contact your insurance company or your new car will not be covered. As for plates, you are at the mercy of the State. Assuming the dealer paid the fees in due time
If you already have insurance and trade in your car you have 10 days to notify your insurance company or your new car will not be covered.
A repo man may surrender plates to the DMV if the vehicle they have repossessed is not roadworthy or if the owner has not maintained the required auto insurance. Surrendering the plates ensures that the vehicle cannot be driven illegally.
No. Only when the vehicle is repossessed and always once the licence plates are turned in.
Not necessarily. If you never drive it you don't have to keep insurance. If you do use it, (at least once a month at best), you are required to have insurance as you have to have insurance anytime you are on the road with a motor vehicle.

Once you are issued the plates you MUST display them. Even if you have temporary plates (paper or cardboard) with an expiration date that has not yet passed, they become null and void once the vehicle has been issued permanent plates.
Normaly when you fail a smog test or e-check the technician gives you a paper stating why the vehicle failed and until it gets repaired the vehicle can't be issued new license plates or tags. Once the vehicle is reparied you can go back and have the vehicle tested again and get the results as soon as the test is finished. Once passed you get a paper stating the vehicle passed and can be issued new license plates and/or tags.
Depends of the Insurance Company. Most of them YES if the bill is paid in the first 10 days.
I take it you mean, if your car IS repossessed. In that case, IF you dont plan to redeem it, NO. NO car, NO insurance. Once the lender repos the car, they are responsible for the insurance coverage.
Policies differ, so you should check with your agent or broker. If you have owned a vehicle and already have an auto insurance policy, that will generally cover your new automobile for a period of up to 30 days after you buy it. Once that 30-day period is up, you'll have to talk with your agent or company representative to insure that new vehicle.
Once you have the initial plates made, fabrication usually takes a couple days.
Physical damage coverage on an auto policy says that the insurance company has the option of paying to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle. In the case where the damage to a vehicle's cost to repair is more than the ACV of the vehicle the vehicle is totalled and the company will pay the ACV of the vehicle. Sometimes when you buy a new vehicle without much or any downpayment you quickly get "upside down" in the loan. As the value of the car depreciates, the loan balance doesn't fall nearly as fast. For the first couple of years you owe more than the value of the vehicle. The insurance company has nothing to do with auto loan. GAP insurance was created to cover the difference in the ACV of the vehicle and the loan payoff. You can buy GAP insurance from the finance company or bank that financed the vehicle or from your insurance company. Purchasing from the insurance is much less expensive and you can drop the coverage once the loan balance falls below the value of the vehicle.
