Re: volentery repossesion
If you surrender your vehicle, you would be liable for any deficiency which would result from a judicial sale.
Most of the time, the banks sell cars at rock bottom prices at auctions and deficiency judgments are almost inevitable.
Usually the best route to take is to pay the arrearage and sell the car yourself.
