Can a car get repossessed in another state?

Yes, a car can be repossessed in another state. Repossession companies often operate nationwide, and they have the legal right to repossess a vehicle as long as they follow the laws of the state where the repossession takes place. This usually means they'll need to obtain a court order or otherwise comply with the state's specific repossession laws in that state. However, the contract itself (the loan agreement) usually allows for repossession wherever the vehicle may be located.
