Can someone school me on impound lots, specifically town or i guess, municipal ones? Every weekend, when I drop my recycling off, I pass the impound lot. For the past 5 months now, there has been an SRT-10 truck there, quad cab, without a scratch. Hasn't moved, and the weeds have grown up around it almost higher than the truck. Do these cars usually go to auction? Why would it be in a town impound lot? How can I find out if it will be eventually auctioned (i.e public notice, calling town, etc.)?

Thank you!

 

just walk in and ask the office i bought a 98 ls integra for 1k from the guy i don't have title to it but i have an entire integra for parts.

Or i can wait 3 more months file for one.

 

yeah i'd go in ask what the procedure is on how long the town or towing business or whatever holds the car for before it becomes "their property"
I'd think after 5 months it would be getting close. I can't imagine that impound fee atleast 3-4 grand.

 

3 to 4 grand for an srt-10 viper truck. hell yeah.

when you get it you should send it to John Henessey!

I'm assuming you mean call the town, but specifically, should I call the popo or Public Works, where the impound lot is?

 

depends on where this car being held at.
is it a town owned impound lot or towing company lot?
most of the impound lots around here are towing company lots.
i'd go into the building(presuming its a tow company) that this impound lot that is near and ask them them how soon they'll have this car up for sale if the owner doesn't pick it up.
they'll probably give you a date then when ever the next auction is after that date go to the auction and bid on the car.

 

No, it's definiatly the town impound lot.

 

go to the cop station then. and ask them when the car due to go to auction if the orginal owner doesn't pick it up soon.
