How's that transaction work? If he leaves it for a certain amount of time does the tow company own it or did the owner just sell it to you super cheap? Wish my job had those kinds of perks

How does that work with the title transfer? You just request it from the DMV?

Are you worried the original owner might try to take it back? LOL. I mean, he probably has the keys still right?

NICE...
Congrats on the new ride!
Sux for the original owner, but obviously he didn't want it too bad, for it to be there for 45 days.

Time to start modding it now.

Epic win for the OP, epic fail for the previous owner, who the hell abandons a car like that regardless of the mileage?
