What is your tax question?

there's no tax deduction for having your vehicle repossessed

In fact, you may get a 1099-C cancellation of debt tax form from the lender at some point which may increase your tax in that year.

There is no tax input for a repossessed vehicle if it was a personal vehicle, unfortunately.  If it was used in a business, when you go through the business portion, you would edit this asset and check that it was sold in 2017, for the amount of the loan you still owed.
