Can a co signer take your car?
Cosigners can’t take the vehicle they cosigned for because their name isn’t listed on the title. A cosigner isn’t responsible for making the monthly payments, maintaining car insurance, or really anything else. If you do default on the loan and the vehicle is repossessed, the cosigner still can’t take the car.
