Can a car only get repossessed for no insurance?

Absolutely. When you purchase and finance a vehicle you sign a legally binding contract. Perhaps you should read what you sign. The contract states that you agree to carry insurance that includes comprehensive and collision with a maximum deductible of usually $500. If you let your insurance cancel then you have broken the contract and therefore the finance company can reposses the vehicle.

If you owed money on the car (which is probably why it was repossessed), you need to pay what they demand. Check the paper you signed when buying the car if you think they are 'demanding' something different than you signed. Your girlfriend was smart to cancel the insurance, since a repossessed car does not need insurance. You cannot sue your girlfriend for calling the car lot, or for cancelling the insurance, because you cannot show DAMAGES to yourself.

In this state buying a repossessed vehicle is no different from buying any other vehicle as far as insurance is concerned. The insurance agent checks over the car, takes pictures, checks the odometer, and quotes the rate just like any other used car. Of course if you have one car and you purchase a second car, your insurance goes up.
