Best Answer

Co-signing a loan may not specifically require collateral, but if the person for whom you co-sign defaults , anything you own becomes fair game. Don't co-sign for anything for which you cannot comfortably cover the loss in case of default.

Can a financed car be used as collateral for a loan?

Since the car is financed, it already is collateral for a loan. Your car loan uses the car as collateral for that loan. I think the only way for you to use the car as collateral for a different loan is to have the NEW lender pay off your car loan, tack the ammount of the car loan on to the new loan you are getting, therefore they would then be the leinholder on the car.
