Auto Loan for a friend

Is it legal for me to take an auto loan for a friend?

Who would be registered as the owner of the car once the loan is paid in full?

Hi

Good question and one which potentially has a number of implications.

Firstly I am assuming you are taking out 'car finance' as opposed to a car loan. In terms of car finance then as you are the one taking out the car finance contract then as far as the car finance company is concerned then you are the one legally responsible for the upkeep of the finance repayments. To put it bluntly, if you sign any documents, then you are and can't keep up with repayments then the car can be taken back from your friend plus you could end up with a bad entry on your credit record.

The same also applies if you take out a loan to buy the car. Although this is different than 'car finance' which is normally taken out with the car dealer or a specialist car finance company the same applies in terms of the money. As you will be the person responsible for repayments then the lender could take some of your home posessions rather than trying to take the car.

Basically, think through all the implications of taking out a loan on behalf of a friend as it'syour name on he paperwork and you stand to lose out more in the long run if things go wrong.

 

Hope that helps

Taking an Auto Loan for a friend can be tricky. But as of I dnt know credit of u and ur friend I can not comment in details.

But to be honest yes it can be possible if you can get some good Auto Loan firms.

Hope Nationwide Auto Lending might help you in this matter.

I assume your name is the only name on the loan. Even if you co-signed for your friend and there was a problem, they would come after you for the money owed. As long as payments are made and on time you won't have a problem. When the loan is payed off in full, if you are the only name on the loan, you are the owner. If you co-signed and your friends name is the main borrower, he owns it.

Thanks and God Bless,

It's a quite interesting question to answer. My answer is supportive one an individual can take an auto loan for a friend in the beginning and pays interest at a given rate to the bank. Clear that loan and be a good owner of the car.
