Work in auto finance for a major bank not Santander! Can you refinance with some cash down? For example if you are refinancing about 10K and can put 2500 down will knock rate down significantly with you co signing.
Also no offense but Santander finances the very low end credit and charges high fees dealers dont like so if she can get approved at a different bank should be better rate as well

Actually the car is probably on 13% and there was a 3-4% kickback to the dealer. Thats typically how it works. The bank paid the dealer 4% off the bat to get her in at 17%. The bank is more than happy to take 13%. But they charge that because she is a very high risk. Otherise nobody would make a loan to her. Much better to get your own loan on the car and buy it from her than to cosign with her on a refi. (what if you dont get married? she could purposly default and take your credit with the break up) If you buy it then worse case is that you own the car. Also you can insure it far cheaper than under her credit likely. Depending on ins co.

Update:
First off, I want to thank everyone for their input. It helped me very much. That being said, I'm pretty much stuck. I spoke with Neighbors and PenFed. The car's payoff is 18k roughly but the NADA and KBB value is 14k so the only way to have it refinanced is putting down the 4k difference. sucks bad but im using it as a valuable teaching lesson for the fiancé
Right now, im planning on just having her continue to make her monthly payments as shes been doing and pay it off. Are there ANY OTHER OPTIONS at this point assuming I don't put 4k to meet the difference?
Again, thanks everyone for their input. While it didn't necessarily help the situation, I got to learn some stuff and gain knowledge in dealing with loans and such. So not all is lost!

If you dont have 4k cash, put 4k on credit card and finance the other 14k at ridiculously lower rate.

With 20% interest?
Home equity line of credit might be a better option if available.

Yes, or a promotional 0% for 12-18 months. Still well worth it to get 80% of the amount at a drastically lower rate.

King what is your email? I'm pretty sure I can help you out.

For 4k? When 0% are on every corner? Hell he can probably get 18k on a 0% for 18 months if he can get a HELOC.

Why would anyone advise putting his house on the line over a stupid car he doesn't even legally own?

I think O-T posters are growing up a bit and starting to make their way here, applying O-T level advice to MT situations.

I think if it is a simple interest loan, after you pay a full note, two weeks later pay half the note, the interest will apply to that payment. Two weeks later pay the other half or more and that one applies to the principal. I hear this cuts the interest in half and you pay it off quicker. I have not tried this, only heard about it, anyone know if this is true.

I'm not going to beat you up for selecting the absolute worse option from among the menu, because I completely appreciate and understand your situation - I've probably made decisions that were comparably bad, in my youth, perhaps worse (and I made a bunch of bad ones).
Having said that, I hope this doesn't turn into a very expensive teaching lesson for yourself. Good luck and G-d bless.

The main reason the 2 week payment schedule pays the loan off faster is that you're making 26 half payments a year (13 full payments) instead of 12 full payments. The interest that you save by making half of a payment a couple of weeks early isn't a lot.
