Not legally you can’t.
If the "new" car replaces a car already insured, or is an addition to a current policy, it’s automatically insured for at least 30 days, but be sure to report it to your agent/company ASAP so you don’t forget it. If it’s not one of the above, you need to put insurance on it before you drive it home.
And just who pays for the loss if you have an accident? Of course not, driving without insurance is always just that, driving without insurance. If you have an insured car now, talk to your broker about coverage on a newly-acquired vehicle. If you don’t have a car now, talk to a broker about a new policy for your new vehicle.
I don’t think it would be a good risk, but you might check with a dealer to be sure. If you already have insurance it can be transferred. You don’t want to get stopped for any reason without insurance. One accident with no coverage can cost you a lot more than it would be worth in the long run- even if someone told you it would be o.k.
