Yes. The terms of the loan were defined when you signed the paper. Most loans state that they can repo the vehicle if the loan is in default and they can declare the loan to be in default at any time after you have failed to meet one or more conditions of the loan. When you didn't pay on time, you were in default. Once you were in default they can repo the vehicle and sell it to dispose of the loan.

How many days you have to be behind before they can legally do a repossession in Arizona?
The limit is in the contract you signed. It likely says that
when you are in default the lender can repossess. That means
anytime you are behind at all... even one day, although most places
wouldn't do that. They would rather get the payment rather than go
to the trouble to repossess.

When can your car be repossed?
The most frequent cause of repossession is lack of payment on a
note owed to a financing company or bank. The lender can repossess
anytime after a payment is missed, but most won't start such
proceeding until you've missed two or three payments. Always try to
