Typically they go by what the same year make and model sells for in your area. Please note that they do not go by what the list price is on vehicles listed in the newspaper as that is not usually the final selling price. I like to use edmunds.com to get a good estimate of the true value of a vehicle.

Can you be charged a repo and insurance fee when the original owner never notifid you of the repo and drove the vehicle away herself?

I'm not sure what your question/situation is but... The Finance company can do what's called "forced insurance" meaning if you do not have insurance they will put insurance on the vehicle at a hefty cost to you. They can also repossess the vehicle even if you are up to date in payments but do not pay them their insurance rate.... and that money is still owed after the repo.
