as far as the lots here in San Diego go (which is practically run by former cops)selling your vehicle, they won't sale it right away. you have time to get it out. your best bet is to have someone call the lot, get the total and try to work out a deal. 30 days usually is how long they try to hold it ransom. remember it cost every day that it sits there. so you're looking at the initial day @ around $250-282 which includes chp tax, hook up cost, storage etc. then roughly close to another $80 per day on top of that. if you wait too long it won't be even worth it to get it out.
Not getting personal, but depending on why you were arrested it may be a lot more expensive than a couple of hundred because they may have tacked on additional fees and interest simply as a DETERRANT so you'll be discouraged from getting your auto back.
With as many years as I've been in security, I've had more than enough dealings with police who will say flat out they would want someone on pending narcotics charges to be "nice and immobilized". The suspect having his/her own vehicle is the easiest way to flee a state.
If this is going to be a regular problem I'd encourage you to elect EXTENDED comprehensive coverage on your insurance policy so if it does get impounded all you pay is a small deductible and don't loose your auto from daily rocketing surcharges.
Good Luck!
Once your car is Impounded you will receive a 180 in the mail letting you know of the impound and of its locations. Impound lots put a lien on the car on the 3rd day. DMV will then send you a notice of the lien. On this notice it will tell you how to go about putting a hold on your car.. IE you have plans to get the car once you have enough money. If you follow the instructions of the lien and do the requirements by the time limit your car will not be sold.

If your car was loaned to someone and the person was arrested and the car was impounded Can you get the car back if you have the title?
Depending on the reason it was impounded makes a difference. I have has this experience before. They were busted for driving without insurance and my car was impounded. I had to get proof of insurace and go to the police station where it was impounded from show them my proof of insurance and then they handed me a release to get my car from impoundment. Then I had to take the release to the yard and then I was able to get it out. Depending on where you are from can make all the difference in the world also. i would say yes if you take in documents proving that the car belongs to you eg insurance, log book (pink slip), and documents proving who you are eg photo id and prof of address.

How do you get back an impounded car in California?
That depends on why it was impounded. At minimum, you'll have to go to the impound lot and pay the impound fee. There's probably a towing fee as well. There may in some circumstances be a police hold on the vehicle, meaning you'll have to bring proof that you've cleared up whatever that is. The first step would be to call the impound lot and ask them what you, personally, specifically need to do to get your specific car back, and then do whatever they tell you.

If your car is impounded can the towing company make you leave it for a month while it accumulates fees?
They can't make you leave it there, but if you cannot pay the bill to get the car released, they indeed do not have to release it back to your possession. In that case, yes, they will keep it impounded, and you will be charged a storage fee (usually accumulating daily interest) which must be paid before your car is returned to you.
