Co-signers on a car?
Answer:
I am a co-signer on a car and I had to be there.
If you don't have much credit or new credit you probably won't have much of a problem getting a car. They may try to give you a high % rate but if you have not owned a car before you can qualify for the first time buyers rate. (mine was 4.9%).
Car dealers look at it as secured loan. If you don't pay. they will get it back.
I've never needed a co-signer for any kind of loan, not even my first car loan when I was 18. You might be surprised :-)
Typically a co-signer needs to sign the documents. They may be able to mail documents back and forth with a notorized signature but it depends on the rules of the lending institution.
They don't have to be there but they will have to have their signature notarized. Problem with co-signers is that they get the credit points not you. Most car companies have a first time buyers program now so you should be able to get the loan especially if you some credit history of good payments.
Preggo Ba,
Yes they will have to be there in person to sign the papers. After all technically they are buying the car.

The dealership may send a Currier to have the papers signed. They could also have them mailed certified..but your family will have to take them to a notary and have them notarized. I am gonna give you some advice on buying a car too.even though you didn't ask. You need to buy your car at the end of the month. You also need to shop shop shop. Don't take what they want to give you or what you "qualify" for. If at all possible go to the lender yourself and get the funds, the will assure you that you will get the lowest interest rate. Good Luck and enjoy your new car.
don't co-sign a loan. Banks will loan money to nearly anyone. if they won't for you, then they probably have reason not to loan to you. they are giving you a vehicle worth a lot of money, would you give you something like this? don't get into debt, buy the car with cash or get a different car! You are still learning about credit (you said you were new) how do you know that you will be able to pay for this?!?!
