At the minimum, repo people will take you car, leaving you on the hook for the balance of the loan plus towing charges, and your credit is wrecked for about 5-7 years. You're better off (but not by much) if you do a voluntary repo; your credit is still going to be affected but not quite as bad (you can also write the credit companies & have them put a note in your file if extenuating circumstances (i.e., lost job, high medical bills, etc.) exist. Talk to the credit people-that's your best option.
