A cosigner is someone who agrees to pay back the loan if the primary borrower cannot, while a cobuyer is someone who shares ownership of the purchased item and is equally responsible for the loan payments.
There is a common misconception that cosigners are not responsible for payment. However, the purpose of a cosigner is to guarantee payment of the loan. The cosigner, comaker, cobuyer, coguarantor or a loan is equally responsible for payment of the debt. So, yes.
Well, it depends how the title was written. if it says buyer "or" cobuyer you dont need the other persons signature for anything .... if its written with "and" between your two names, u will have to have both people present to complete any removals or transfers. That or you can have the cobuyer sell u the car. They will still need to be present though.
If the buyer does not pay the loan, then the lender comes after the co-signer. Late payments affect both credit reports. Most recommendations are not to co-sign a loan.
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.
Don't know of any state that allows a co-buyer. There might be. For this purpose, let's use co-signer. What legal action does the co-signer have if the buyer doesn't make the car payments? In reality, the co-signer signed as a guarantee that the payment would be made and on time on the specified date. The buyer is the one buying. That's 2 different operations. The co-signer, at last known fact, cannot take the car because he is not buying it. He's paying THE LOAN since (and we're assuming here) the buyer is not paying. In my experience, if the buyer wants to be a horse patootie, he can drive that car with a smile on his face and not make payments because the co-signer IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS. If the co-signer does not make the payments, then HIS CREDIT IS RUINED! Never co-sign, if at all possible.
Buy cobuyer I wonder if you mean cosigner on a loan. If this is the case then the answer is no. As a cosigner you are simply agreeing to pay the loan if the person who took it out does not. It is in his or her name and you are responsible for it if they do not pay it.

No, but there is no need for recourse. Under the law, the difference between the buyer and cobuyer, the signer and cosigner, the maker and comaker, the debtor and codebtor is negligible. They are simply different terms use to identify two separate parties who are eaually repsonsible for a debt.
Daughter and husband are getting divorce and she is the co-buyer can she take it out of state
You can as long as the title says:(example) John Doe or Jane Doe, if it says John Doe and Jane Doe then the cobuyer has to be a part of the sale.
Yes
Cobuyer, cosigner, they are the same thing. Wherever you sign as co-signer you should be aware that if the primary borrower defaults on payments you will be held equally responsible for paying the loan.

You will be responsible for the loan payments
IF your name is on the TITLE as buyer or cobuyer, you have the right to POSSESSION. Do you know where the car is? Do you have a key?
Make the idea known to the lender BEFORE you proceed. get it claer what is to happen.
