Yes, the finance company can repossess the car from the body shop. They would likely wait for the car to be fixed before they repossess the car.
They won't repossess it for your license being suspended, but they can repossess it when you fail to make payments, regardless of what the current status of your license is.
Someone has the car and the finance company has a lien on it. Any sale would have been fraudulent.

The Lessor is the finance company. The lessee is the person leasing the vehicle from the finance company
Yes. The finance company is the lien holder, therefor they are the tilte holder. General you can put whoever you want on the registration.
Repossess it
NO. no to what? no to the registration or no to the registration and ticket? they can't register the car if there is a ticket on it. so who would oay for it? the people who buy it at an auction or the finance company or the person who owned the car. someone has to pay for it. in California when a car is repoed or sold the title is transfered to the person who bought it (i.e. the finance company, cause they repoed it) and in turn, they are responsible for all fees associated with the car, so who pays for it? don't fell like the question was answered properly or accurately enought with just a no.
Only if you stopped making payments and are behind on your on your payments.
