Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I took out a vehicle loan and let me ex girlfriend pay for and drive the car. She has made all of the payments but more than few have been more than 30 to 60 days late. I let her know that she will have to either purchase the car for what is owed on it via cash to the lienholder or get a loan in her own name. She says she has contacted an attorney to inform her of her rights. Does she have rights to the car beyond the options I have given her.

I assume that the she had registered the car in her name, in which case she merely owes you whatever the terms are under the loan, but she has legal title to the car and can work out whatever terms she wants with the seller. Unless you have either legal or equitable title to the car, you have no say over it and can only insist on repayment of the loan under the terms of that loan.
