No. A car loan is a civil as opposed to a criminal matter. Being behind on a debt is not a criminal matter, therefore you cannot be arrested for it. Never the less, if you are behind on a car loan and if the loan is secured by a lien on the car, you may be arrested if you interfere with the loan company's attempts to repossess the car, provided that state you are in has laws that make it a crime to interfere with a repossession. But even in this instance, you are not subject to arrest for being behind on the loan, you are subject to arrest for interfering with the repossession.

When you get the loan to buy the largest ship on Skullduggery Island do you have to repay the loan?

No, but a few pirate ships sunk would easily pay off the loan, which is normally around 500,000 doubloons and reaches 1,000,000 with maximum interest. The only penalty for having an overdue, unpaid loan is not being able to buy a larger ship, which you of course will not be doing anyway. For most players, the loan will never become overdue, since they beat Captain Crawfish less than 20 "days" after getting the Phoenix warbird.
