Yes, in our jurisdiction we have to try to notify the owner including an add in the newspaper that services the area the customer lives in and then get title to the vehicle. ($50)
So if you moved or your contact info is out of date in the vehicle (on the registration etc) we can and do take ownership of a vehicle with out notifying the owner.
If it is parked out on the street they can.
The owner of the property where the vehicle is located can remove it/ have it removed, in most cases without the necessity of notifying the owner of the vehicle.
if the car had a lean on it the lean holder proble told them to an they don't have to tell u
You cannot sell a car for salvage unless you have the title with you listed as the owner with no lean on the car. If there is a lien on the car you cannot sell it without having the lien removed.
You salvage a car by saving it from the ruthless owner, how does not know the value of the car. Baby it and bring it to life again through repair, maintenance and proper use.
A salvage title can be caused by a car having been damaged in a previous wreck also if a car has been previously stolen and the owner was already given a replacement before the car was found then the stolen car may receive a salvage title
In my state at least (Virginia) the registered owner can add anyone he/she wants to the registration, so you could just get them to add you.
A salvage title car will bring far less that one without a salvage title. Deduct about 20% from the retail value.
No, a co-owner cannot sell a car without the primary owner. Both people have to be present for the sale of this car to go through.

When a car is in an accident and the repairs exceed 75% of the car's value, insurance companies total the car out, pay the owner and take possession of the car. They then resell it (usually though an auction) as salvage. The title is rebranded as such so if the car is rebuilt buyers will know it's been totaled.
If the engine is blown or if the owner just decides that he would make more money off parts than the actual car
