Once the vehicle is auctioned off and sold there is usually a remaining balance left to pay. You will start receiving collection notices about the remaining balance. This is when you will want to prepare yourself to negotiate a settlement.

Yes. What usually happens is the vehicle is reposessed and then re-sold. When it is resold, any difference that there is between what they sell it for and what you owed is still owed by you. There may also be recovery fees attached for them having to retrieve the vehicle.

Nothing. The company you held the loan with had taken your property (car) due to your failure to pay them. Your credit is now trashed, but I don't think you will owe anybody major fees.

Should you buy reposessed car?

I would avoid purchasing a reposessed car because in some cases, cars that are reposessed are trashed.
