alot of times someone signs a car title over for sale and never dates or puts the mileage on the title.. in some states that is illegal. If the guy never registers or retitles the car in his name, that is his fault. not yours. I would have a bill of sale and title for him to sign.. In your state you may be still financially and be cited for any civil damages. tickets and fines may be in your name also... You can always get the car, place a public notice in the paper and then claim the car. Attempt his last know address with a certified letter saying he owes you for the financial fees sustained for the impoundment and if doesn't return a reply within a specified legal time limit the car can be reclaimed as yours. If you can afford to get it out of impound, you can do this and then part the car out and make your money back from the fees. You are limited in time so see what can be done.. quickly.. it can make a nice driver for you and your kids one day...
The city auction is a nice place to buy a used car.. you know a car like that will sell and be sold on some car lot for 5x what the auction got for it.
good luck!!
