If an abandoned vehicle at the time of abandonment has no numbered plates of the current year affixed and is of a wholesale value of $250 or less, taking into consideration the vehicle’s condition as determined by the City Council, title shall immediately vest in the city and the Council is not required to follow § 91.22. With respect to those abandoned vehicles governed by § 91.22, title to such vehicles, if unclaimed, shall vest in the city five days from the date the notice referred to therein is mailed or, if the last registered owner cannot be determined, when notice of that fact is received by the Council. Upon the sale of an abandoned vehicle at auction, the city shall furnish the purchaser with the requisite affidavit to provide to the County Clerk where the vehicle was last registered as proof that said vehicle was abandoned and became the property of the city prior to the sale.
