How much trouble is it to obtain a title for a car sold at an impound auction.?

Iwas offered to bid on a car to be sold by the police for unpaid traffic tickets, towed and never reclaimed, etc. How much trouble is it to get a clean title for the impound auction cars. Can the car owners or the title holders give me any trouble if I buy the car and ask for the title to this type of auction? They sell these cars to used car dealers, so I want to know what I am getting in to, before I decide to do it. thanks.

Call your city and ask what proof you will need.
You should have no trouble at all, if it's California. Once a car is impounded, the impounding agent becomes the leinholder. They go through a process with the DMV to allow the original owner the chance to buy back the car. If the original owner fails to respond within a certain time period, the leinholder has the right to sell the car at auction or from their impound lot. You will not be liable for any tickets the car may have had. The DMV should be able to help you. If you buy the car at auction or impound, it's legally yours.
In Fl and GA you are given a clear title that states it was legally purchased thru auction.
that would be different from state to state, but usually the bill of sale from the police department or licensed sales agent will be enough.
