How old do you have to be to get a car in your own name?

Question

Im 18 to be 19 in a week and they still told me i had to have a cosigner!!! Why?

Answer 1

you mean for a loan??? that's because you have no credit.  You have no previous history of making payments so why would they assume that they will get their money back?  They expect a parent or a matured adult with good credit to cosign with you b/c they want to ensure that if you don't pay, they have someone else to go after.
