Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I have a judgment in CA (default judgment) for a car that I co-signed for when I was 19 yrs. old and I am now 32. Stupid decision, I know. The judgment was for a total of approx. 10,000. A collection lawyer called and said that I owed over 20,000 (I guess this is interest?) What are my options at this point? I don't have the money to pay for a car that isn't worth even half of what they are asking for. What is the wisest decision at this point? Get a lawyer?
