(a) If a junk motor vehicle is not reclaimed as provided for in § 8-6-414, the enforcement agency in possession of the junk motor vehicle shall sell it either at a public auction or to a salvage yard or demolisher. The purchaser of the motor vehicle shall take title to the motor vehicle free and clear of all liens and claims of ownership and shall receive a sales receipt from the enforcement agency which disposed of the motor vehicle. The sales receipt at the sale shall be sufficient title only for purposes of transferring the motor vehicle to a salvage yard or to a demolisher for demolition, wrecking, or dismantling. No further titling of the motor vehicle shall be necessary by either the purchaser at the auction, the salvage yard, or the demolisher, who shall be exempt from the payment of any fees and taxes.
(b) When an enforcement agency has in its custody and possession old vehicle tires or inoperative or discarded household appliances collected in accordance with § 8-6-413, it shall sell property, from time to time, at public auction or to a salvage yard or demolisher.
