Repossession costs are a variable amount. Most contracts are for a range of $300-$500. But additional efforts can cause those initial contract amounts to rise. If a special truck is needed (flatbed fees), if keys need to be made (especially for lazer cut keys - $250 +), if there are storage or impound fees, if there are secondary liens (mechanic's lien), if a replevin is required (court costs and legal fees). All of these add up, and all of these are transferred to the borrower.
