Re: repossesion
If the bank repossess they will sell the vehicle. Generally the sales do not produce as much as if he sold the vehicle privately. If there is a balance left owning after the sale the bank still has a debt that can be collected. You may wish to get a power of attorney and sell it before it is taken away.
