Repossession is when a lender takes possession of an item after the owner fails to make payments toward the debt.
You could file a civil suit for the fines and other issues that you have incurred. You could also ask the court to order the buyer to register the vehicle.
You could also, at least in some states, including where I live, go to the DMV and execute an affidavit of "sold but not transferred". Should you be able to establish the date the vehicle was "sold but not transferred", the tickets cease being your responsibility, more importantly if the vehicle is wrecked or used in some crime you would not be the "responsible" party. Better go ahead and get it done.
Many jurisdictions such as the cities of Chicago and New York have strict parking ordinances. When these ordinances are violated, or a series of unpaid tickets exist, a tow truck is dispatched to hook the vehicle and take it to impound. Impound is a lot where vehicles are locked and kept until the unpaid balance of tickets and fees is paid.
Yes, there is reciprocity. My friend's wife's car used to be registered in Florida. When she got tickets here in Chicago, it took a long time to get notices, but they did finally arrive at her registered address in Florida. It took over 2 years, but they did show up.

The impound yard will give you their particular requirements. Just give them a call.
Yes, you can sell an impounded vehicle, Unless the car has a hold on it in connection with a crime, in which case there would be no storage fees. Mind you, the buyer is liable for any tickets that go to the plate that was on the car at the time of impound.
pretty much you cant
pay your bill (or your tickets) and have proof of insurance and ownership.Added: If the vehicle was impounded as evidence, or as the 'fruits of crime,' you will have to get a court order.
First you will have to pay the tickets and the police will tell you from there.... don't wait to long because storage gets added to the cost.
You will likely be arrested. This is larceny, a felony. It is also trespassing.
No. Tickets must be paid by the driver or the individual leasing the vehicle, and not by the bank. However, once the vehicle has been repossessed, the bank is then responsible for the vehicle (including any tickets which may accrue).
The tickets follow the car; the car follows the registration; therefore, tickets go to the registered owner. However---you can take the violator to small claims court and get a judgment against him. You would still owe the tickets.
In most jurisdictions:Parking tickets must be placed under the windshield wiper or snail mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.Moving violation tickets must be handed directly to the driver of the vehicle and in some cases signed for. Where I live moving violation tickets may be mailed to the Driver or if the driver can not be determined mailed to the registered owner.
A car has been impounded , can the car be return to owner if a payment arrangement is made with parking authorities.
