There is not a strict set of requirements for cosigning. You will need to be over 18 and the lender will need to believe you are a good credit risk. This is based on your credit score. You should be concerned with the obligations cosigning a car loan will create for you. See the Related Link for "Experian: Advice on Cosigning a Loan" for info on this.

Never cosign a loan. While I agree that one should NOT cosign. cosigning can hurt or help. Remember that if they do not pay you have to. Cosigning will affect your credit and count towards your debt to income ratio and show as an open joint auto loan. You might be turned down to get your own auto loan without a cosigner if you cosign.
If you cosign for a loan you essentially have a right to know everything there is to know about the person you are cosigning for. I would advise you to get every detail you can because if the principal does not pay the note, then you will be legally obligated to do so.
TIME!
Cosigning a loan can increase your debt-to-income ratio because the loan amount will be included in your total debt, even if you are not the primary borrower. This can make it harder for you to qualify for other loans or credit in the future.
