Normally, unless it is a sort of pawnshop or personal type of loan, you the borrower hold the collateral. For example, if you get a loan on a vehicle, you have possession of the vehicle as long as you are making payments as agreed. If you stop making the payments, the one to whom you owe the money (the lien holder) can take possession of the vehicle, sell it, and you would be responsible to pay the difference between what it is sold for and the amount you still owe, if there is a difference.

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.
One disadvantage to a collateral loan is that the property put up as collateral can be taken away if the loan is not paid as promised. The dollar value of the collateral does not matter at the time, but after it is sold, the lender should return any portion above the loan repayment amount.

It depends on the type of personal loan. It is possible to get a loan using only a good credit score as collateral.
