Car with a co-signer being the primary owner how can you get there name of and just have your on car?

Remove their name from the car title. Once you've paid off your loan and the car's title is in your name, you can remove your co-signer's name from the title by having them sign a title transfer form and then going to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) with the completed form and your ID.

Refinance the loan in your name only. If your co-signer wants to stay on the loan but you don't want them to be the primary owner of the car anymore, you can refinance the loan in your name only. This will require that you qualify for a loan on your own, without the co-signer's help. However, it will also give you full ownership of the car and you won't have to worry about your co-signer's credit history or financial situation affecting your car ownership.

Sell the car and buy a new one in your name only. If you don't want to refinance the loan and you can't come to an agreement with your co-signer about how to transfer ownership of the car, you can always sell the car and buy a new one in your name only. This will obviously be the most expensive option, but it may be worth it to you for the peace of mind of knowing that you're the sole owner of your car.
