Getting rid of a junk car in Maryland -- what do to when you don't have the title?

How much did she get for the car?

$100

She was a little sad when the tow truck driver told her the car would be junked -- all those memories of her late husband... I told her it would have been nice if the car got rebuilt and someone could use it, and that the driver had said what he said to prevent her from asking for more money. Which is probably not true, and I am not sure that consoled her much, but what's done is done. Life goes on.

The car couldn’t have been rebuilt and re-used if there was no title.

The saddest part is to me, the catalytic converter(s) was worth well over $100 for scrap by itself. If you read my post 3rd one down, tow guys will pay next to nothing without a title.
