Absolutely

The co-signer will usually only have to sign if they are listed on the title as a co-owner.
A co-signer on a car loan is responsible for making payments if the primary borrower fails to do so. However, the co-signer typically does not have ownership rights to the car unless they are listed on the title.
The co-signer is typically a person who signs for the car loan; the co-signer may or may not be listed as a co-owner on the title. If the co-signer is also a co-owner, the co-owner who is paying the loan can legally take the car. However, if the co-signer is not a co-owner, taking the car would be grand theft auto. Incidentally, if the co-signer is not also a co-owner and the loan falls into default, both the signer and the co-signer will be identified in credit reports as defaulting on a car loan, even though the co-signer did not have or use the car.
No the co-signer's name should not appear on the title.
if you are on a car title and co signed for that vehicle, and it reads " you or them " can you register the vehicle
That depends on the type of property covered by the loan. A co-signer cannot transfer the obligation to pay the loan to the primary borrower. The co-signer has a contract with the lender that they will pay off the loan if the primary borrower fails to pay.If the property is a car the co-owner can sign over the certificate of title and the grantee can request a new certificate of title in their sole name.
In most cases, you cannot sell a car without the co-signer's signature on the title, as both parties listed on the title typically have ownership rights. If the co-signer is unable or unwilling to sign, you may need to pay off the loan or obtain their consent for the sale. It's essential to check your local laws and the lender's requirements to ensure compliance. Always consult with a legal expert or your lender for specific guidance.
The co-signer would make the payments as usual and at the end of the financing, the owner would sign the title over to the co-signer. That is probably not good because the owner would still be financially responsible for the vehicle. The co-signer should refinance it in their name.
