Re: co-signor
The co-signor can attempt to convince the primary borrower to have the vehicle sold and the loan(hopefully) paid off with the proceeds from the sale, or the co-signor could also persuade the primary borrower to sign the title over to him or her and the car would then become subject to the co-signor's sole ownership subject to the lender's lien.
