I will need more information in order to advise you with accuracy. However, assuming that your cousin signed a written contract with Chevy, they would have up to four years from when your cousin stopped making payments to Chevy to assert a claim against your cousin for the remaining $16,000. If they were to file a claim against in court, Chevy would incur additional legal costs. Hence, they are now trying to settle the debt before incurring additional legal costs on their end.

Your cousin probably already has title in the vehicle, but I would need additional information before determining that.
