Yes. Most states give the option of titling the vehicle to the two buyers as either "and" or "or" owners. This would show on the title afterward. If two people buy a vehicle with the "and" option, both of them must sign the documents to sell the vehicle. If the "or" option is chosen, either owner can sell without the other owners okay.
If both names are on the title of the vehicle, both parties must agree on any transfer of the vehicle. In other words, you can't sell or trade the vehicle without both owners signing off on it. Find out what car dealers don't want you to know at www.dealertricks.com.
