Any action would be governed by state statutes concerning ownership rights. In most states the way a vehicle is titled to persons who are not married depends on how it is owned. Generally, if the title reads John Doe "and" Mary Smith then the vehicle belongs to each person equally and both need to agree on what if any action can be taken. If the title reads John Doe "or" Mary Smith, they both own the vehicle separately and either party can sell it w/o the consent of the other. The safest option would be to contact the state DMV for the required information.

On average what is the quality of most repossessed vehicles?

The owner of a vehicle that has been repossessed, cannot afford to make their payments, so it makes sense that they cannot afford to perform the required scheduled maintenance on the vehicle. This is not always the case but IMO, I would never buy a repossessed vehicle, unless it had extremely low mileage of say less than 20,000 miles.
