    Repossessing a car sold by 2 private parties
    I sold a car in April 2008 to a private party & took the note back. They were to pay $250 per month.

    Last month received payment on the 21st for the month of October 2008 (due October 2, 2008).

    This month, I have rec'd no payment.

    I want to take the car back. The private party is willing to, but wants me to reimburse them for repairs made to the car from April - November 18, 2008 without ANY consideration for the miles that they have driven the car.

    Can I reposses this car for a payment 17 days late?
    Am I at all responsible for reimbursing the repairs done while the car was in the new owners possession?
    I want to avoid being taken to small claims court. If 17 days late is not enough time, how long to I have to wait, not receiving a payment, to take the car back?

    What does your note say about late payments and repossessing the car?
