No. The repo man is not going to walk up to you and say "I'm here to take your car; could you sign these papers, please?"

You may be asked to sign papers afterward, if you're very lucky; papers agreeing to pay back the deficit between what you still owed on the car and what it was actually worth. If you're not lucky, the only thing you'll be asked to sign is a check for the full amount of the deficit, plus the repossession fees (probably $300-500).
