No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have a 673 Equifax, but the other bureaus are not so good of a score.
Can anyone recommend a credit card that may have at least a chance of approving me, even if with a low limit?
They should probably pull Equifax. I am in California if that helps.

I have a US bank secured - $300 limit. Just reported.
1 reposession charge off about 6 years ago.
Should I just wait a year to get experience with the US bank and let the repo drop off?
Apply for the AMEX Zync. You should be approved if that is the only negative on your report.

Yes, good idea. Also make deposits on the secured card though the year. Try to get it to 2K.

Not sure AMEX would approve with 1 TL with less than a year history and a repo on file.
You may have to app for another secured card. Do you happen to bank at a CU? If not, you can try to get a secured card at BofA, Chase, or WFB. Once you have 2 secured cards, you do as suggested above and try to get both credit lines over $1,000, then garden - use them and pay them in full,on time, every month for 6-12 months. After that you should be eligible to either switch them to secured cards, and/or get approved for a better card.
Good luck.
LS's right. Get the limit up. Bigger numbers merit the same when it comes to new approvals. Nobody likes to be the latest issuer of the biggest number, but most will match/keep close.
I'd be more concerned about that repo resulting in a judgement, since it's a contract, depending on your SOL/state of residence. Even if it falls off after CRTP, they might gun after you, if your fico goes any direction upwards, as they're typically notified by the CRA's.
