Reply to Buying a used car in PA but no existing insurance - how do? by XxItsAwigxX

Car sales rep of 8 years here….

  1. AVOID CARVANA. The convenience of shopping online is heavily outweighed by the lack of customer service, proper notary work, and you generally end up purchasing “as is” aka no warranty.
  2. For the insurance, shop around with the big names. State Farm, Allstate, Geico. Smaller providers like Erie Insurance will be much more expensive until you’re about 25 years old.
  3. In response to the people saying to shop for state minimum coverage, you get what you pay for. An extra $10-$20 a month in insurance can save you from huge expenses that would have been covered for just a few extra dollars.

Feel free to DM me, i can help explain how to make sure you’re shopping smart and buying the insurance you need without overpaying for things you don’t.
