What happens when you purchase a used car from a dealer is that you get information from the dealer on the car you are buying, such as make, model, year, VIN number, then you call your insurance company. This can be done at your home or you can do it right in the dealer's office. If you are trading in an old car, you can transfer the insurance from your old car to your new car.
