Legal Question in DUI Law in Iowa

I am buying a car with cash and putting the title in my name. My friend will be driving it however, and has had a DUI. If they get in an accident with my car, am i still liable even if they have there own insurance for the car and i just own the vehicle? Or do u recommend me putting them on the title? Or whats the best method when buying a car knowing someone with a DUI will be driving it from time to time? Should i have insurance on the car even though they might end up just having it as there car to drive? Thanks!
