Hey.. How well do repossessed cars sell? I figure they have to be pretty cheap and I think I may get my next car that way. Anyone ever think about it?

interesting question,
i think they're just like any other used cars, i mean the owner obviously didnt want to get rid of it so it must be fine

Then again, the person could not afford the car (for repos based on financial reason) which means they could most likely not afford maintenance.

Buying a repo'ed car you're more than likely going to have to replace the locks and ignition because a lot of cars a repo'ed without the owner even knowing, thus not being able to get the keys.

Most of the time repo'ers simply roll up to the vehicle and drag it away.

But their auctioned off anyways
