A vehicle that is not paid for and has a clear title cannot be sold, traded or salvaged without the written permission of the lender. It is highly unlikely that any such permission would be granted until the loan contract has been paid in full as agreed, allowing the lien to be lifted and a clear title possible.

On the other hand, if the new owner does not transfer the title, but its reported sold properly, then when ever the towing company runs the VIN# of the vehicle it will show its been reported sold with the information of the new owner and all charges would go to the new owner, otherwise you are liable for all the charges because its still under your name.

Can a towing company auction a vehicle without notice?

only if they have a lien on the the title for any service that you have not paid for. its called a mechanics lien. Even if they have a mechanics lien, they still have to notify the registered owner via certified mail, and give them a chance to pay the bill. You can't just get a title or magistrate's bill of sale without proof that you have done everything possible to contact the owner first. The owner has 30 days to contact the person that has the vehicle. If they don't, then the vehicle can be sold at a magistrates auction and will be given a title for the vehicle.

Can a vehicle owner carrying valid insurance avoid a claim by stating that they had sold the car prior to the accident?

Assuming that the vehicle "owner" -- or, in this case, the person who would be considered the prior owner -- really did sell the car, then yes, he/she would be able to "avoid" the claim. This is because the prior owner's carrier covers him/her for his/her own losses, not a new owner who may present a very different set risks. In fact, most auto policies have specific language about owned, non-owned, and sold vehicles. Now, there could be questions about whether or not the vehicle is considered sold. Did money exchange hands? Was the title signed over? Did the new owner actually take possession of the vehicle? Usually, if one or both of the prior and new owners consider the vehicle sold, the insurance carrier probably would, too. Only if they can prove the vehicle was sold prior to the accident. They have to have the title either transferred into the new owners name, or a valid bill of sale dated & notarized.
