In the state of washington, Whoevers name the vehicle is still under is liable for all the towing and storage charges, no matter if you sold the vehicle , it is your responsibility to report it sold 5 days from the date you sold it. On the other hand, if the new owner does not transfer the title, but its reported sold properly, then when ever the towing company runs the VIN# of the vehicle it will show its been reported sold with the information of the new owner and all charges would go to the new owner, otherwise you are liable for all the charges because its still under your name.
