You guys are trusting souls, no way I would do that with someone who has questionable money management skills at best and not even married. Hey, woman, what is this $14k charge on my CC???
He doesn't have to give her a card. This would help boost her credit score, though.

I've heard that being an authorized user doesn't boost ones credit.

Buy the car from her and put it your name until married. Then give her the car as a wedding gift.

I'm guessing you mean Santander, the ginormous Spanish bank.

She should not have bought a car at 22% interest. A used moped would have been better. Even better than that would have been public transportation. Yes, I'm serious.
She doesn't know how to handle money, that's for sure.

Not true. Do some research online and see exactly what it does. It will boost her score if you let her piggyback on an old positive account.

Seriously? Why did she finance a car at 22% then? When you're paying a rate like that you need to look into the least expensive options possible.

Should have definitely bought something cheap for less than 5k.

guys, I realize the "wrong" she did with the situation. you cant rewind and do things differently.
I was asking for options on how to get a lower rate. I appreciate all the input. truth is, it was her first time going thru the car buying process alone.
I will definitely try some of yalls ideas.

I like this idea. But only if you've got a wedding date picked out and planning the wedding, etc. If you're planning on getting married >1 year from now with no date, I'd skip it.
Is her parents paying for the wedding? I'd be wary of putting your cc in her name if you are footing the bill for some of the wedding.

getting married in early 2014. im helping pay for some of the wedding, as well as both sets of parents.
I told her I want her to just focus on paying off debt (medical bills which is the cause of bad credit that resulted in the high interest rate) and let me handle any wedding expenses we, as a couple, need to put up.
id much rather go into marriage debt free than having a luxurious wedding and still having to pay off debt as newlyweds.
so, I guess the CC option is doable

also, I talked to sandantar and found out its actually a 17% interest rate. still high, but not the 22% I originally said.
Posted on 7/12/13 at 10:39 am to King of New Orleans
22%.. Geez. She might be better off renting, ha.

I give up. You don't have the name of the bank or the interest rate. Both are kinda important.

King refinance the car with both of yall on it. With you on the vehicle and your good credit, you could get the rate reduced down to below 5%. This will help her with the interest rate and still look good on her credit report.
Also her being an authorized user on a card could also help her credit a bit. If she has some chargeoffs, she needs to pay off the creditors.

My question: if I was able to co-sign
Do not do this under any circumstances.

Are there any other options?
Pay off the freakin' loan or sell the freakin' car and take the loss.

I've also thought about putting the car in my name to bring the rate way down.
Yeah, if your bank will finance it as a private sale, you can buy the car from her - then let her continue driving it.
However, rather than throw good money behind bad, I would take the loss - did she do something stupid like finance for 60+ months?

No person on the OT ever does anything wrong.
Seriously though, this is not a big deal, you have options, some were given to you, ignore the trolls.

My question: if I was able to co-sign (I have very good credit), how much could that potentially drop the interest rate?
I did this last week on a new car purchase and we got 1.89% for 72 mos through Capital One.
