It depends. Normally, if you car was repossessed, the finance company will "write off" the balance, but that does not mean you don't have to pay it. The company normally sells the car at an auction and you owe any deficiency balance. In other words, if you owe $10,000 on the car and it only sells for $6000, you will owe the $4000 difference.

Can you sell a car to a dealership if you still owe money on the car?

Yes, Because then they would be responsible for taking care and paying for the car. The slang term "upside down" refers to when you owe more than the car is worth. If you sell a car to anyone (including a dealership) for less than you owe you would be the one responsible for paying the difference. The dealership will verify with the fiance company what payment is required to release the lien. For example if you owe 10,000 on your car and the dealership will give you 9000, you would have to pay them 1000 to take the car. If you're trading in the car, then the shortage can sometimes be rolled over into the new car purchase.
