I would check sc laws on it, but in some states a towing company can get a title pretty easily. In Virginia if you had a car towed and didnt pay your bill within a certain amount of time then the towing company had to send you one letter requesting payment by a certain date. If you didn't pay then they sent a letter to the state requesting the title be put in their name. That allows them to sell the car to cover unpaid bills. I've bought several cars without a title, had my uncle tow it, dont pay him and then get a title.

thats pretty interesting. nice to have an "in" with a tow company to get that done. But even still, thats a bit of a hassle. Maybe for $800-1000, but not $1800. Does that get you a clean title, or does it change it to salvage or something?
It may vary by state, but it's a clean title in Virginia. We've owned a towing business there since the 50's and have gotten hundreds of them that way. You would be surprised at how many people refuse to pay a $50 wrecker bill after you tow their car for a dui arrest. They weren't drunk, the drugs weren't theirs, etc, and I ain't paying a dime. Storage fees start getting added after refusal to pay and a month later that $50 is $500. When they refuse again then the state mails a clean title to my uncle.
