Can someone else take out a loan on car for you?

In general, only the owner of a car can take out a loan on it. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule.

* If you are a co-owner of the car, you may be able to take out a loan on the car with the other owner's consent.

* If you are a spouse or domestic partner of the car owner, you may be able to take out a loan on the car with the owner's consent.

* If you are a child or dependent of the car owner, you may be able to take out a loan on the car with the owner's consent.

In some cases, you may also be able to take out a loan on a car that you do not own if you have a security interest in the car. For example, if you are a lienholder on the car, you may be able to take out a loan on the car to satisfy the lien.

It is important to note that if someone else takes out a loan on your car, they will have a lien on the car. This means that if you do not repay the loan, the lender can repossess the car.
