We recently purchased a property at auction and there is a car parked. Neighbors say it has low mileage car. The owner died 3 years ago with no kids. What can be done ? Anyone has any experience?

 It's considered abandoned property and each jurisdiction has it's own procedure. If it's Philadelphia, see:

Abandoned car procedure

I dealt with this often for me.. screw it.. call a company that wants the car for scraps and does not care about the title.  done deal gone the next day..
