    It varies from yard to yard and state to state. Several of my cars I have parted out came to me because they were abandoned.

    When these get auctioned off, does it gain a legit title or is it sold for parts only? It would be a shame to part that car out! :huh:

    The whole process usually takes 4-6 weeks before a abandoned vehicle can be sold/auctioned... In VA there has to be a reg letter sent to the prev owner stating that the towing co will be disposing of the vehicle, if nothing is heard in 15 days the DMV will start process to issue a title to the towing co, garage, property owner, etc... In Va if someones leaves his vehicle on your property and refuses to move it, you can apply for a abandoned title, process can be started in as little as 48 hours...
