Maybe probation for 1st offence and 3-5 years depending on the accused past record.
Added: If the vehicle is driven across state lines, this offense can escalate to a federal offense (felony) and you can be tried in the federal, not state, court system.

Do you go to jail for driving repossessed car out of state?
The question is a little confusing. If a vehicle has been repossessed then it would no longer be in the possession of the person(s) who made the purchase agreement or to whom the vehicle was registered. If what is meant is can a vehicle subject to repossession be taken out of the state to avoid such action, then the answer would be yes. But it is unlikely that would happen unless the lien holder decided to file it as a stolen vehicle. Which in some states would be perfectly legal and that would mean the person moving the vehicle to another state would encounter some serious legal problems.
