Getting an auto loan to pay off someone else's auto loan?

My mom got an auto loan for car but the interest rate is extremely high. I want the vehicle. I can get an auto loan with a very small interest rate, Question is - am I able to get the loan to pay off her remaining balance and just have my loan to pay off?

    Your loan would be based on the value of the car. Most banks will loan something like 75% of the value of a used car.

    So, if her car is worth $5,000, the bank might loan you $3,500. This is complicated by the fact that many people with a loan on a car are "upside down." So, in the above example, she might actually owe $6,000 on the car.

    At that point, you have a serious problem. You have a loan for $3,500, and she has a loan for $6,000. In order to close on your loan, she would have to sign over the title to you. In order to do that, she will have to pay off the $6,000 balance on the loan...so someone is going to have to come up with $2500 out of pocket.

    Of course, your numbers will be different, as that's just an example.

    Yes. Get her to get a payoff quote for her loan. Then take that to your bank and ask for a loan for that amount of money plus whatever extra she wants for the car if anything because maybe it's worth a lot more than the remaining loan balance.

    Her loan balance might be higher than your bank is willing to loan, so you would have to pay the difference.
