No. The co-buyer has an ownership interest in the property. The co-signer does not and only guarantees the loan will be paid. The co-signer is equally responsible for paying off the loan if the primary borrower fails to pay.

Is the co-signer and co-buyer the same thing on a bank application?
Co-buyer = Name is on the title and has rights to the property. The lender will PROBABLY insist that this person also sign the loan as a co-signer or joint borrower. Co-signer = Name is on the loan and is obligated to make the payments if the primary borrower does not. This gives you NO rights to the property.
Can a first time home buyer have a co signer with collateral?
You need the down payment and the other fees. Your co-signer needs very good credit.
What legal action does the cobuyer have if the buyer doesnt pay the payments for the car loan?
Don't know of any state that allows a co-buyer. There might be. For this purpose, let's use co-signer. What legal action does the co-signer have if the buyer doesn't make the car payments? In reality, the co-signer signed as a guarantee that the payment would be made and on time on the specified date. The buyer is the one buying. That's 2 different operations. The co-signer, at last known fact, cannot take the car because he is not buying it. He's paying THE LOAN since (and we're assuming here) the buyer is not paying. In my experience, if the buyer wants to be a horse patootie, he can drive that car with a smile on his face and not make payments because the co-signer IS OBLIGATED TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS. If the co-signer does not make the payments, then HIS CREDIT IS RUINED! Never co-sign, if at all possible.
Can buyer and co-buyer be the same person?
No.
Who is responsible for the auto loan buyer or cobuyer?
If the buyer does not pay the loan, then the lender comes after the co-signer. Late payments affect both credit reports. Most recommendations are not to co-sign a loan.

Both the co-buyer and the co-signer get equal credit. Regardless of who is on top of loan. Also hurts equally if not paid.
Upon signing a contract where it says Primary Buyer and Co-Buyer where is a Co-Signer supposed to sign?
Cobuyer, cosigner, they are the same thing. Wherever you sign as co-signer you should be aware that if the primary borrower defaults on payments you will be held equally responsible for paying the loan.
What is the co-buyer's responsibility if the primary files bankruptcy?
If an individual is a co-signer on a loan in which the primary buyer defaults, the co-signer is then responsible for the remaining payments of the loan. It is important to know the financial strength of an individual before co-signing for them, as their default could lead to many financial issues for the co-signer.
Is the co-signer the same as the co-buyer?
No. A co-signer is a person who guarantees the loan and a co-buyer is a person who has equal ownership and liability. An example is when a young married couple wants to buy a car but does not have good or sufficient credit or enough collateral for the loan. They might get one of their parents to guarantee payment of the loan by becoming a co-signer. If the couple defaults on the loan, the co-signer becomes liable. In this same case, the couple as husband and wife, sign the loan (co-borrowers) and the purchase document for the car as co-buyers, sharing equally ownership and primary liability.
Binding contract buyer sign and co-buyer don't sign is the contract void?

In California State what are the legal rights of ownership for a vehicle between a primary buyer and a co buyer when the primary buyer becomes delinquent on a payment?
Unknown what is meant by the term "co-buyer." Are you referring to a "co-signer" of the loan? In such a transaction the only entity that actually OWNS the car is the lender. The borrower is allowed to POSSESS the car only so long as the financial obligation to the lender is met and current. If the buyer stops paying, the lender will turn to the co-signer for the money, but just because the principal buyer stops paying doesn't automatically mean that the possession of the vehicle passes to the co-signer. Whatever interest the co-signer has in the car is a matter of agreement between him and the buyer of the car. The co-signer does not necessarily have any legal rights to the car at all. The lender doesn't care who actually HAS the car in their possession just so long as they are paid the money that is due them.
Will a bank try to collect from a buyer before a co-signer or do they go after both at once?
both
Can buyer and co-buyer be the same person?
No.
Is it legal for a co-signer to reposses the vehicle that is financed through a bank?
I don't think so. The co-signer is not the registered owner and has no claim to the vehicle. Only the bank or the loan company (which lends the buyer the money and holds the vehicle title until it's paid for) can repossess. The co-signer just guarantees the loan. If the buyer defaults, the bank will come after him to make payments.
