It's because when they turn the title in to the state there is no selling it
ever again, only parts.
I do have two friends that have junkyards that keep the title til it's crushed
because they like selling the car whole if they can.

The big yards would loose their lisence/permit to junk cars if they sold cars after the title went to the state, because the state has a kind of lean (the certifacate of origin) on your title that they don't want to delete if that car is still driving around. By the way that's the only way the IRS and ATF or whoever can legally seize a car, they can't if the person has certifacate of origin.


Thanks for saving another one! I've saved a few and it's a good feeling.
