Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Private Auto Agreement Default

Last July I helped my cousin purchase a vehicle, it turned out the only way she could get it was if the car & loan was completely in my name. After 3 months I had to take the car away because she had only made 1 payment. I managed to keep the payments up & told her that she could only get the car back if she prepayed the insurance & loan. To this day I still have the car. She has also defaulted on the written agreement she signed for repayment of money owed for her time posessing the car. I plan on filing a civil suit for enforcement of the written agreement. My questions is whether or not I have any further recourse for my loss. I am stuck with a car that is worth $8,000 and a loan for $14,000. Some possibly relevant details . . . She put nearly 20,000 miles on the car in 3 months. When the car was purchased it was agreed that she would finance the vehicle in her own name in the future.
