) and young dudes are idiots to begin with. Definitely don't put him on your policy.

State Farm is the best. I pay 180.00 for the year with full coverage on my 09 softail.

Given that he's young, buying a sport bike and his credit is bad enough to not qualify fo a $6k loan, I'm guessing his insurance will be higher. Eye-poppingly higher.

I'm not worried about him skipping... he has money that he inherits I'm not worried one bit about him skipping on the payments...he will have it paid off in a few months... he just got a SC on his 300srt Chrysler so that's why he needs a loan for this. He should have it paid off with in 5 months. Thank you all again God bless. Again I appreciate all the information and input from each and everyone of you

1) if he's working a job his credit WILL improve
2) there are ways to inflate your credit rating in the short term (google can help with that)
3) if he can't get it now, try again in 6 months

anecdote of myself -> i had a 5k CC and was looking to get a 5k LOC as well which got immediately rejected (i was working for about 8 months at that point)

1 year after the rejection i was getting pre-approved credit increases every other month and in total the amount of credit available was way more than 10k. a LOT more actually.

he should wait and save a bit before he does anything imho. whatever your uhh his money is his call.

oh probably has a bad driving record too which wouldn't help the cause

Seriously, what's wrong with waiting 5 months and doing the deal then so he doesn't need a cosigner?

Check that the payment is made by the due date of every month and pay it if it is not already. This will save your credit in case something happens and your cousin flakes.

The other thing is if he is late on making payments. That goes against your credit rating.

Yeah that's all, I'm going to do exactly that hopefully I can monitor it online if not I have no problems calling once a month.
