Courthouse Auction house contents

[Doug Wade]

Looking to bid on a REI bank foreclosure at the county courthouse. I have bought 2 previously and understand that contents are mine to keep or dispose.

My question is that this particular home has a fairly new automobile in the garage. Talking to neighbors, finding out auto was financed, then owner passed away during Covid times 2/3 years ago. I’m pretty sure high bid would not get the auto and would be impossible to retitle anyway. If I would win auction, what do I do with auto? Has finance company already wrote off vehicle?
