If you bought a car for an ex can repo the vehicle that am lienholder of if payments are 60 days behind?

If you hold the lien on a vehicle and the co-owner/ex falls 60 days behind on payments, you may have the right to repossess the vehicle. However, the specific laws governing vehicle repossession vary by jurisdiction, so it is important to consult with an attorney or the local department of motor vehicles to determine the exact legal requirements in your area.

In many jurisdictions, the lienholder (in this case, you) has the right to repossess the vehicle if the borrower (in this case, your ex) fails to make payments as agreed upon in the loan agreement. However, the lienholder must generally follow certain legal procedures, such as providing notice to the borrower before repossessing the vehicle.

The exact procedures for repossessing a vehicle vary by state, so it is important to follow the specific laws and procedures in your area. In some jurisdictions, the lienholder may be required to obtain a court order before repossessing the vehicle, while in other jurisdictions, the lienholder may be able to repossess the vehicle without a court order, as long as they follow certain procedures, such as giving notice to the borrower and/or filing certain documents with the local motor vehicle department.
