Who owns the car if there is a co signer?
A cosigner doesn’t have any legal rights to the car they’ve cosigned for, so they can’t take a vehicle from its owner. Cosigners have the same obligations as the primary borrower if the loan goes into default, but the lender is going to contact the cosigner to make sure the loan gets paid before this point.
