You can purchase a car without a license if you buy from a small car dealership or personal owner in NC. My daughter did and put it in her name before she had her licenses.
They will not sell you one without a license
Not likely to have any vehicles in your price range. They sell previously rented vehicles that are usually taken out of the Enterprise rental fleet at around 40000 miles, and 2 to 3 years old at the oldest. You can call just in case they may have taken a cheap trade-in but otherwise much more expensive than you are looking for. Plus in NC I don't think you can buy a vehicle without a license and insurance.
