Can I remove a co-signer from a auto loan?

I did a smart buy on a car in April of 2005 and my mom co-signed the loan for me. I have decent credit and I was wondering if I would be able to remove her from the loan? I know I need to contact GMAC but I was just wondering if anyone knew if they would consider it or not. Thanks

Refinancing a loan is the process of renegotiating the original terms of a loan previously contracted with a lending institution. This renegotiation takes the form of adjusting the length of the loan by extending the term, reducing the interest rate of the loan from its original interest rate, and lowering the monthly amount of the loan repayment.

Automobile loan refinancing is a process of locating a new lender for an already existing car loan. Refinancing is often sought out for a better loan rate and extended term. Occassionally refinancing is opted to remove a co-signer. Some persons may have a high interest rate on their automobile loan due to lack of credit, poor credit, lending institution choice or length of term of thier original loan.

Auto refinancing can reduce monthly payments as well as lower interest rates on the loan itself. It lengthens the term of payment, therefore stretching out payments for the automobile while lowering the amount of money paid each month. Refinancing also allows for a payment gap, meaning the person who refinances will miss one or two payments. Some refinancing institutions allow a 90 day hiatus from payments.

Shouldn't be a problem. It's done all the time for various reasons.
Short answer is - no.

Actually - if your credit is now good, perhaps you can renegotiate another loan, but this would cost. There is usually an initial fee for a loan to set it up and the early payments are mostly interest, so it is not really in your best interest to do this.

If you are a good credit risk then there shouldn't be a problem for your mother to remain on the loan. If you are not then I doubt you will get them to renegotiate a loan.
If you have made all the payments on time, you may be able to have the cosigner released from the loan, but more than likely the only way to do so is to refinance the car, and pay off the original loan. There is no benefit to GMAC to releasing your mother from the loan, and actually that increases their risk.

You can ask them what they would require. The worst that can happen is they will turn down your request!
