<prompt> Human: Hi Reddit,Long story short, a year and a half ago, I co-signed primary co-signor a car for my uncle, who had credit issues and managed to bring his interest down substantially and secure the loan. It was a spur of the moment decision where I literally woke up on a Sunday and within an hour I was at the dealership. Im normally very deliberate but my uncle, who helped raised me in my younger years, needed help he has a wife and 2 young girls and I felt I should return the favor. Fast forward to this past week and I learn hes lost his job and hes running short on funds. The car payment is 500month, which is a big chunk of change, especially for him. Ive asked him to consider selling the car, but he says hes not at that point yet. Im inclined to just sell it on my own as Im the primary co-signor. I remembered to confirm with the sales manager right before signing the papers that the car was indeed mine. Unfortunately, I dont have the title in my hand and the car is still financed for another 4 years or so.So Reddit, I want to know if as the primary co-signor without the title in hand, is it legally my car first and foremost? if so, Id like to sell it ASAP and use any equity to buy him a small beater car until he can get back on his feet. I live in California.TL;DR: My name is on the title of a car as the primary co-signer, but I dont use the car. Am I still the rightful owner? EDIT: Sorry for the confusion, but my name is on the title of the car. I made it clear when I co-signed to ask the sales manager who the owner is before signing and he said it was me first. I just want to confirm this is the case.  <response>: You both are co-legal owners of the car. One person does not have power or authority over the other. In most states, both parties have to agree sign paperwork, etc to relinquish ownership.You are guarantor on the loan. If the primary owner cannotdoes not make payments, you contractually agree to make them.
