My parent buying me a car before I get my license? - 1


I'm 17. I am eligible to get my license October 9th and my birthday is December 9th. I was looking for cars even though I have a couple more weeks but to get myself prepared, to learn more about the responsibility of having one, the cost and insurance. I'm not looking for anything expensive or brand new because I'm paying for my car all by myself just for 2 months. I have 2 jobs and a senior in high school but I love it.
Anyways. I came across a 2000 Honda Accord and a 2002 Toyota Corolla from cars.com which I believe they are calling my name! Haha! Btw I will check out the cars in person and already found out the historys. But I wanted to buy it as soon as I can before anyone claims it. My dad is my legal guardian and has custody of me. He wants me to get a car and my license so bad because of me having 2 jobs and he's always too busy so he'll pay someone to take me to work sometimes. So he couldnt wait til my birthday. I was wondering if he could purchase the car and then when I get my license or when I'm 18, it could be in my name or my name on something? He actually doesn't know the answer to this question for a minor (BTW I'm not buying it in cash, I'm financing) but please help! I need more info! Thank you!
I live in Ohio, USA.
