    The can sue you for the difference between what you owe them and what they get at auction (or whatever other means they use to sell the car). For example, if you still owe them $15,000 and they seize the car and sell it for $10,000 you will owe them the difference ($5,000) PLUS costs.

    This is completely wrong. If you live in BC there is seize or sue legislation. The exception is if the vehicle is used for business.

    So that's what OP meant in the title of the thread. An anti-deficiency statute, in other words. Interesting. 2 1/2 years too late, but interesting. ;)
