Can I get my car back the same day it was repossessed?

Trying to reinstate or redeem your auto loan typically has to happen within a short time period, such as about two weeks, so you could have your car back soon after it's repossessed. You may have to wait longer, perhaps several months, if the car is sold at auction due to the time of the auction process.
