Sold car in california and it was impounded?

Am I liable for a car that has been impounded? I filed a liability release with ca dmv on line and the car was sold 2 months ago. I got a letter today stating it was impounded. Also has me as the regestered owner (obviously the buyer never registered it) I have a copy of the release of liability. The car was sold for cash. I did not contact the tow company yet. Should I? and if so, would the accept the release of liability and clear me? or would I be stuck with the bill? Thanks!

1. Get it out of impound and sell it again.
2. That happened to me. I just brought the tow company a copy of my bill of sale and a copy of the release of liability and I never had any more problems. Usually if nobody picks up the car then the tow company will sell it to make their profit. Good luck.
