Actually, the way they are trying to work the deal for the kid is that he would be an employee of the dealership, be paid a commission on sales, and the car he's driving would be for business purposes for him to go to prospective customers and let them drive it before thinking about making a deal on buying.
Of course the people he'd take the car to would be well heeled supporters of the program itself, and actually be prospective clients. Ergo, make one sale a year in his name, he's fulfilled the contract, and they are using his NIL in their ads like any employee. Quit trying to make it sound like it's a publicity deal. That's not how the deal will go down. The reason? Tax deductions, plain and simple.
As for the insurance, the kid will only be required to pay for a personal liability policy, which can be written at state minimum. In Texas, we're talking about about $30 a month from what I gather. Hardly worth mentioning it, but since you didn't see that, I feel obliged.
The trickiest part of this whole thing is how they will align his "work hours" to show he's averaging 20 hrs or more a week directly in sales, and spending time on their sales floor, during normal hours of operation. But, knowing some of the attorneys and accountants involved in this whole charade, I'm confident they already have that figured out.
