I will need an auto loan fresh off bankruptcy discharge (chapter 7), current scores are mid 600's (TU is actually 700), DTI under 20%, My understanding is with the fresh discharge I probably will not get approved or will have a 20+% rate. Will a cosigner help the rate? if so is there recommended banks to try to get pre approvals from?
Cosigner has 800+ scores, low DTI, no current auto loans
I will have a 5K (maybe 6k) downpayment - looking at cars around 30k
Thanks for any insights
**Cosigner volunteered, we know the risks, not asking if its a good idea or not just if having a cosigner will help me and the idea is for me to refinance as soon as I can get a decent rate (1 year ish)
For sure! Specially if the cosigner can prove income if needed! You'll be just a secondary signer.

Bank would own the title till it is paid! However you can register the car under your name including the insurance. No issues there.
