Your question assumes that the subject is the "vehicle". This actually concerns the money you borrowed which just happens to be secured by a vehicle.

The only time a consumer "buys a car" is when they pay cash for one. If you have to finance a car, you sign a contract borrowing money that you agree to pay back at certain terms. Regardless of what happens to the car, the credit grantor still expects to be repaid the money you borrowed at full terms.

Anytime a loan is secured; creditors have the option of re-selling the security (in this instance, a car) to recoup some of their loss on the loan. If there is a difference between the amount that was borrowed and the re-sale price, the consumer is liable for the difference. The is known as a "voluntary repossession". Any deficiency balance becomes a charged off bad debt. The creditor may take any legal means to recoup their loss, including filing a law suit, garnishing wages, freezing bank accounts and placing a lien against any real property (depending on state law). The derogatory item would certainly be reported on your credit.

How do you get a co-buyer off of a car loan if they are in default?

You don't. If the cobuyer has possession of the vehicle and is no longer making payments, you as the buyer may take possession and either take up and make current the payments, or voluntarily surrender the vehicle. Failure to do so will result in repossession, and will adversely affect your credit.

How does turning off the current in a industrial electromagnet affect its magnetic field?

This is because the magnetic field is created by the flow of current through the coils of the electromagnet, so stopping the current flow stops the generation of the magnetic field.

Can I get my ex wife to co-sign an auto loan for me?

Sure, you can ask her. You need to inform her that she will be completely responsible for paying the loan if you default on the payments even though she will have no ownership interest in the vehicle. A co-signer should always be completely informed about the consequences of co-signing. They are guaranteeing that you will pay. If you miss payments it will affect their credit record. If you default it will also wreck her credit.Sure, you can ask her.

Can I trade in my car if I am behind on payments?

You absolutely can trade in your vehicle even if you are behind on your payments. When you trade a vehicle in the dealership you are purchasing from pays off your previous loan in full, so being behind on your payments will not affect anything other than the total amount due on your car. Of course when the new dealership runs your credit report it will probably reflect that you are currently behind and will also show how many months you are behind.
