More details to this question:
I sold a car to someone and they got it impounded with the title still in my name. Was it illegal for me to go and get it out after getting a certified letter in mail to do so and then selling it afterwards?

You cannot sell the same car twice, it fraud. The first purchaser can sue you for the cost of the car.

You already sold the car, and the person you sold it to can sue you.

Well I would have notified the person who you sold it to to come and get it and pay you the costs of getting it out. If that person refused, then have them sign a paper they were abandoning the vehicle.

Getting it out of the impound is not a problem, selling the same property twice is. You should see and attorney with the details of all of your actions.
