"What should I do after being denied an auto loan with a cosigner? "

"I applied for a car loan with my bank. I have a 680 credit score with minimal history, so I added my girlfriend as a cosigner. She has a 750 credit score and five years' worth of credit history.

The bank still denied me a loan. Where should I go from here?
