By now you see what a huge mistake it is to buy a car or house with someone with whom you have no legal relationship. You have no more rights to the vehicle than she does, and most likely any legal remedy you may have against her (such as to force her to sell and split the money) would cost more than a decent used car. Be adults about it and contact her to see if she will buy you out for something. She won't be able to sell or register it. Be willing to take less than half value and move on. This is the cost of the initial mistake.
