Re: Help

Simply buy the car from your mom.  The bank isn't going to just let you put your name down and take her's off without a loan approval first. 

 

Another option would be to have her refinance but with your name on the loan as co-borrower, which may or may not work in your favor.  She is still on the line for the loan but so are you.  However, you could get a better rate with a co-signer.

Re: Help

You should be okay toeither officially buy it from your mom or have her refi and add you as a cosigner. I'm assuming here that the truck isn't underwater. To make sure, what's it's NADA Retail Value of the truck and what's owed on it?

 

By yourself, you'd be looking at an APR of ~5% through DCU, unless they pull an EQ FICO of ~680ish at which point you'd be looking at ~1.24%.
