Requisitos para la venta en subasta de vehículos abandonados

Explicación Simple

Si tienes un coche abandonado y no lo vas a vender a un negocio, debes avisar que lo vas a subastar. Tienes que poner un anuncio durante al menos 21 días antes de la subasta.

Es como cuando decides vender una bicicleta vieja. Primero, pones un cartel en el parque avisando a todos que la vas a vender, y si nadie la compra, puedes quedártela o venderla de otra forma.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene un coche viejo en su patio que lleva años sin moverse. Como no planea venderlo a un taller, Juan pone un anuncio en su vecindario durante 21 días. Después de ese tiempo, si nadie lo compra, puede subastarlo o quedarse con él.
