I have repo'd cars for 20 years. A lot of folks on here really have no idea what they are talking about.Gone By Dawn is correct with her answer. If it is attached, you have lost it. You can have any and everything that will come loose, but the stuff that is attached is considered part of the car and therefore it will go to the auction with the car.

They will not take stuff off to let you have it back. If you knew the repo was coming you should have removed it before they took the unit.It will not do anything for the auction price or what you will have to pay back, but the only attached thing that you can have back is the tags. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Contact the repo company and let them know you want your personal items. They will probably refer you back to the lender and they should make arrangements to pick up the items...you will probably need to give back the old rims...if you don't have them...you're out of luck.

Second...you have to pay the remainder balance in full to the repo people to get your car back.Unless you have a special case you can take to court like being sent overseas to the war.

Anything installed on the car becomes part of it, and you don’t get it back after a repo.

Any personal property that’s in the car, you are entitled to get back, but the repo guys can charge you an access fee to get it.
