Working in the collections industry I am jaded. I would say never sign for credit on a vehicle unless it's for your own car. If you get divorced you will be on that loan and also held responsible for the funds. If they can't find your spouse then your wages will be garnished. I have never financed with anyone including my husband. (except on our house which is a different story.)
