Sell it! Otherwise the co-signer is going to have a repo on there credit file. I suggest putting a For Sale sign in it right now to keep from having a enemy if the car is repoed by the bank. I wish you the best!

Can a bad credit rating for a primary borrower improve once a balance has successfully been paid off even when there are cosigners involved?
It will not improve as much as it would with no cosignor but some. A "bad credit rating" would not be impacted by an account being co-signed, or paid off. Your credit is affected by having an inquiry to open the loan, having a new loan granted, making payments on time (or not, as the case may be). If the loan was paid on time, as agreed, your credit will improve. If it was not, the credit of all signatories will be damaged.

Your question seems a bit vague, but if I am understanding you, If you have "No" Credit, and want to start building credit, then the best way is to start making some small purchases on your credit card and paying them off over time. Maybe three payments worth. However, you want to be sure that the merchant you are making payments to, actually reports to the credit bureaus. That's the key element here.
