I'm not trying to be a smart ass but expain to me why you can't get the loan with a co-signer. This allows you to earn a credit history and the loan is still backed by grandma. If grandma has good credit the bank should be okay with that. If not go to a differant bank or a credit union. To try to answer your question. If the bank will give gandma and mom a loan without using the car as colladeral it doesn't matter who's name the cars in. Some guys on here claim they got cars with mon or dad signing but they didn't say if they were on the loans or not. All I'm only telling you is, I live in Pa and my wife works for a bank and she said they wouldn't write a car loan for someone when there name isn't on it. Thats why I told you, you need to check with your bank to see.
