Yes. Talk to the lender and tell them you want to sell the car, give them the proceeds from the sale, and take out another loan for the balance due. It can be a personnel loan or use something else as collateral. Do whatever you can to avoid having the car repossessed.

If the cosigner of a auto loan files bankruptcy and the borrower can't make payments what happens to the auto and the balance of the loan?

Really simple: The loan goes into default and the car gets reposessed. In many car loans, the language in the contract ensures that in the event of default, the lender doesn't need to provide any more consideration and can take the car without worrying about the money left when default occured.

Is it possible to receive an auto loan without having a cosigner?

Sure, in fact most people do not need a cosigner to get an auto loan. The entire process is based on your credit rating, financial situation, and your income. If they are requiring you to have a cosigner, then your credit rating must be very bad or you are buying more car than you can really afford. Purchase what you can really afford and no more. Never, ever, purchase a car that requires more than 20% of you take home pay in total car payments. That is payments on all cars you own, not just the one car. Otherwise you may end up in big trouble and have the vehicle repossessed, thus ruining your credit ever farther. Live by the 20% rule and you will be in good shape.


Why would a bank give an auto loan without requiring a lien?

This would not be considered an auto loan by the lender. This would be considered a 'signature' loan. If you have good enough credit and a good relationship with your bank, they will loan you money without collateral.
