Art. 2725. Seizure and sale of a motor vehicle out-of-state; procedure
A. When a secured party enforces his right to seizure and sale of a motor vehicle located out of this state, he may, in addition to any remedy provided under Louisiana law, proceed under the procedural laws governing seizure and sale of the state in which the property is located. An action to proceed under the laws of another state shall not affect the rights of the secured party granted under Louisiana law, including but not limited to the right to obtain a deficiency judgment upon showing compliance with the laws of the state in which the property was seized.
B. When a secured party seizes a motor vehicle under the procedural laws governing seizure of the state in which the motor vehicle is located, he may, at his option, return the motor vehicle to Louisiana and sell same at public or private sale without appraisal, provided that the mortgage authorizes a sale without appraisal.
