Can't afford to take car out impound CA?
Eventually the state will auction it off to recoup their costs. If you have a lien on it currently, the lien holder may take it out of impound and auction it - the state recovering their costs takes priority over the lien holder, and the lien holder will lose all claim to the vehicle if the state auctions it off. Either way, the payments for the vehicle will remain your responsibility.

How can you lien holder reposses car if car was impounded due to buyer lost drivers license?
As the lien holder of the vehicle, they are contacted by the proper authorities that their asset (the said vehicle) is at an impound lot accuring fees. Because the lien holder is in essence the true owner of the vehicle until the loan is paid off & the lien is released, they have the right to reposses the vehicle from the impound. This is in the best interest of the lien holder because if fees add up, it may not be worth picking up in the end. What many debtors do not realize is that if they do not redeem the vehicle from the lien holder once it is picked up from impound, the vehicle is sold at auction to the higgest bidder & that is in turn applied towards the debtors deficiency balance.
What if your vehicle is financed and you get arrested and it gets impounded can the finance company get it from impound?
They usually wont get involved unless they are going to repossess it. You will still be responsible for th estorage fees and fines. Generally, a lienholder will inquire of the impound lot, as to if the vehicle owner has made contact and attempt to redeem. If there has been no owner contact or, as in this case, if they are made aware of the owners situation, they would probably monitor the status of their interest (the vehicle) to be sure it is redeemed prior to sale date. If the owner or lienholder does not pick up the vehicle it will be sold at auction. Proceeds first cover fees to the impound company with any balance payable to the Clerk of Court for disbursement to lienholder. (Florida)
What will happen if you gt into a car accident with no insurance in Colorado and were financing the car?
It can vary dependent on the extent of the damage. Either way, you'll be cited for both driving without insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle (your registration is null and void without insurance), and the accident (regardless of who is at fault, the perception being that the accident wouldn't have happened if your car wasn't there). The car will be impounded. If the impound fees are not paid, the government agency impounding the car will auction it off, and that takes priority over any other liens against the vehicle. If it's economically recoverable, the financier may go ahead, pay the impound fees, and repossess the vehicle. You'll be left with the balance of the loan to pay off, plus the repossession fees, plus the impound fees minus whatever they get for the vehicle at auction.
