Contact the creditor & negotiate. Perhaps if you pay the past due you can get the vehicle & either use it or sell it.

If you let the repossession go through to a sheriff's sale, it is very likely that the car will be auctioned for less than the full debt. If that happens the creditor can sue you for a deficiency judgment.
