For the first-timer, yes; it gives you security in case you can;t do it and will make the bank more likely to consider you. For the cosigner, you better make sure you can keep your word as well.

Is it a good or bad idea to buy a used car?

If you have a Mechanic friend or family member, it can be a very good idea. Most used cars are sold "As is", and the general rule of thumb and law is "Buyer Beware." This means you buy the car as it is, with no promises or guarantees. This is why it's always a good idea to have a knowledgeable friend or family member inspect the car for you before buying it.


If a cosigner is forced to make payments on the loan because the borrower has defaulted can the car be confiscated from the borrower by the cosigner?

No. The car is not your property, nor do you have legal authority to sieze property. It would be considered grand theft. As a co-signer, you agreed to be just as legally liable for the debt as the borrower. That's why it's a good idea to NEVER co-sign ANYTHING.

Probably not. You, like the primary party, signed a contract as an independednt, free-thinking adult. It is assumed under the eyes of the law that you knew what your were getting into. You are as bound by contract law as the primary.
