Anyone who qualifies through a good credit history can co-sign for you. However, choose a co-signer wisely. That person will be responsible for your debts should you lose your job, become injured, default in any way or die. You may find mixing finances with friendship is harmful to the friendship. Be careful and good luck.

Can a person with bad credit cosign for a car loan?

I don't think so. The reason for a cosign is because the person buying the car has bad credit and the cosigner is a guarantee to the bank the loan will be paid. Two bad credit reports doesn't equal one good one. Since you have credit problems I wouldn't sign because that will add to your debt ratio to income and actually harm your credit.
