Yes, you can generally buy a car on a Sunday in Minnesota. Unlike some states that have restrictive "blue laws" prohibiting vehicle sales on Sundays, Minnesota repealed its automobile-specific blue law in 2017. This means car dealerships are legally permitted to be open and complete sales transactions.
However, whether a specific dealership is open on Sunday is entirely at their discretion. Many, especially larger franchise dealers, are open and actively selling. Others, particularly smaller independent lots, may choose to remain closed. It's a good idea to call ahead or check the dealership's website for their confirmed Sunday hours. The sales process on a Sunday is identical to any other day; you can test drive, negotiate, and sign all the necessary paperwork to drive away in your new car.
It's worth noting that some aspects of the purchase might experience a slight delay if they require third-party coordination. For instance, finalizing your loan with a credit union or obtaining a specialty insurance policy might be more challenging on a weekend if those institutions are closed. For most standard financing arranged through the dealer's preferred lenders and common insurance providers, this is usually not an issue. The key takeaway is that the opportunity to buy a car on a Sunday in Minnesota is widely available, but your experience will depend on the individual dealership's hours and your personal preparation.

You bet. It's legal now, but not every place bothers. The big dealerships off the freeway? Almost always open. The small used car lot in town? Probably closed. Just give them a quick call before you head out. I learned that the hard way once—wasted a trip. Everything works the same on Sunday; you can sign and drive off just like any other day.
