If your car is going to be repossessed is it legal for you to sell it before the actual repossession?

Not without permission of the lender. A vehicle cannot be sold without a clear title of ownership. The lender is named on the title of a vehicle as the "lienholder" until the vehicle is paid for or otherwise released by the lienholder.

Can you have a co-signer removed from a title after the car is repossessed?
AnswerIf the primary on the contract does not pay then the lienholder comes after the co-signer for the payment. The credit of both the primary and co-signer are going to show repossession. If the lender has kept the title in its files as part of the loan process and is listed as a primary lienholder, it can sell the vehicle after the repossession.
What are my rights if a commercial vehicle is illegally repossessed?
Well, first, you'd have to explain how the repossession was illegal. There really isn't any such thing as "illegal repossession"... repossession is a legal process by which a lien holder can recovery property which does belong to them in response to a delinquency of payment or violation of the contract.A vehicle which has no grounds for repossession but was taken was not repossessed - that's theft, plain and simple, and if that's the case, then you'd file a police report, an investigation would commence, arrests would be made, and you'd either recover your vehicle or get an insurance payment if the vehicle was unrecoverable. I'm guessing that's not the case, since you're asking this question here.State laws on time which a delinquency must continue for before seizure of assets can be made varies by state... if this law was violated, then you're going to have to lawyer up and take the legal route against the lienholder (the repossessor is not liable in this instance, as they are contractors following the instructions of the lien holder).A criminal act on the part of the repossession agency has occurred if...A locked gate is breached in the course of the repossession.A secured building is unlawfully entered in the course of the repossession.A vehicle other than the one being repossessed was entered without permission during the course of the repossessionProperty damage occurs during the course of the repossession.In the case of a commercial vehicle, a cargo payload is taken with the vehicle.A trailer attached to the repossessed vehicle which itself is not up for repossession is taken with the vehicle.In those instances, a police report needs to be filed. However, if the repossession itself is legit, that still won't get you the vehicle back.
If someone borrowed my car and didnt return it can I have it repossessed?
Repossession would not be the correct procedure to get your car back. You should contact the person to say you are going to call the police if the car is not returned immediately. Then do it. If they are using your car beyond the period of the loan the use is now unauthorized.
How to know if your vehicle was repossessed or stolen?
IF YOU DONT HAVE IT . if it was repossessed you would have been called most likely .. if it was stolen then you dont know where it is and you werent called ! If you're uncertain, contact your county Sheriff's department. Repossessors are typically required to notify law enforcement when they are repossessing a vehicle. This ensures that officers responding to any situation which should arise from the repossession knowing already what's going on, and also ensures that law enforcement doesn't have to start a tedious investigation when a car is reported stolen when it was actually repossessed.

How Do you find out for free if your repossessed vehicle a month ago has been sold and for how much?
You really don't. Bt you can make an estimate. Take the amount owed on your loan at the time of repossession. Once the car is sold, the lien holder will contact you. See, they're not likely to get the full amount owed by you at the auction, so there'll be a remaining balance. They're going to expect you to pay that back still. They'll tell you what that amount is. So you subtract that amount + repossession and storage fees from the balance you had prior to the repossession, and you'll get a rough idea of what it was sold for at auction.
