Firstly, is not "your" car ... The lending institution actually "owns" your car and can legally repossess it whenever the monthly payments are not being made as agreed upon when the initial loan was signed by the buyer.

The lender is entitled to recover their property by most any means. And is is their right to resell that car to anyone they choose in order to recoup their losses after not being paid by the original buyer.

Miss a payment, lose the car ... simple business. After all, they have your signature on a document that states you promise to make monthly payments or face the consequences.

Can the state of North Carolina charge for personal property when they repossess your car?

The state doesn't repossess your car - private companies do that on behalf of the lienholder. They don't charge you for private property left in your car when they repossess it - that would be illegal. They charge a "storage fee" for the items they remove from your car. Underhanded, yes, but they can legally do it.
