I live in CA.

In short, I want to purchase a car, but not have it in my own name to lessen the cost of insurance. I have a friend who will be sharing the vehicle with me. I have 3 points on my record and he has 0; hence, my cost of insurance is considerably more expensive, especially considering that this is a performance car which puts it in a more expensive class of vehicles to insure. So the idea is that I buy this car and have him put the title of the car in his name, and have him set up the insurance (which I will reimburse him for majority of to be negotiated between the two of us). However, as much as I hope this does not happen, if he and I encounter a problem in the relationship and have a falling out, I do not want to lose the car. This leads me to my question – can I write up a contract and have him sign it that states that the car is mine, or will the title being in his name always trump this?
<bot>: I want to buy a car and put it in someone else's name for cheaper insurance, but still own the car. Is this legal?
