-just seeing if anyone has info. on how to go about auctioning a unit with a vehicle inside? Thanks for any info.

here in CA we have to go through the DMV and get title to it before we can auction it. It's a hassle. There are companies out there that will take care of all the paperwork and get you the title, my recollection is that they cost about $150.

-thanks for the info. , I appreciate. Thought it would be something like that.

What state is your facility located in?

- this facility is located in Springfield, Missouri.- thanks

In Utah we have to do a certificate of inspection by the sheriff's office, then send that info, copy of signed agreement, etc, to the DMV to check for liens on the vehicle. If that clears then we do a certificate of sale geared towards vehicle sale in self storage lien and give the tenant all the info to take to the dmv for a new title and registration. We have to include: Copy of signed contract, return reciept/letter on our certified letter to the tenant, certificate of inspection, copy of legal ad (notarized), sale certificate (also notarized), and i think that's it. I'd call the DMV and see what they have to say about it. They may tell you where to get the necessary forms via internet and a list of how to conduct the auction for the vehicle...

best of luck!

-thanks beestor for the info.

I have the vehicles impounded. I hold the lien sale as normal but make note the vehicle is not included and call the tow company to pick it up.
