I just got my drivers license renual in the mail and they are placing a hold on it until I take care of the following citations.
4000a1vc = Unregistered Vehicle
40508AVC = Failure to pay or appear (for the registration)
The thing is I no longer have this car. It was non opperational and was towed away. Shortly after the ticket was issued.
My fine is over $500 dollars and the courts are closed today being that it's a holiday. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them?

When you received the notice of violation, you signed a promise to appear if you could not show proof of correction. It appears that you did not provide correction and you went back on your own word. To the best of my knowledge, a release of liability is acceptable proof of correction for a violation of CVC § 4000(a)(1).
You can no longer just mail a copy of this in to the Clerk of the Court now that you have the FTA, that is if you ever want to renew your license again. Bring this with you to the next available walk-in court date and count one will likely be translated into the $10 fine. As to count two, I can think of no legal justification why you would go back on your word like that. You're at the mercy of the Court? But because of a few technicalities this charge will likely be reduced from a misdemeanor to only a $146 fine. Anymore and the Traffic Commissioner risks you asserting your right to a trial heard by a jury and Presiding Judge. Pleading guilty to such an infraction should have no adverse action to your record, only your pocket book, so I will leave it up to you to decide whether this is just.
If it is at all possible to get a copy of the court abstract to the DMV for a small fee then I highly recommend you do so. It has been claimed that electronic sending of abstracts have streamlined the process, but I can tell you from personal experience that this is not so. Cover yourself, should be an additional $3~$7 if they permit it.

Go to court as soon as possible.
Did you register the vehicle before it was junked? "Often", if the vehicle wasn't registered when you got the ticket, but you took care of it, the court will dismiss the ticket on payment of the "fix-it" fee ($10), but if it was junked un-registered, you'll probably have to pay the fine. If you show up, explain the situation, and pay for the registration fine, the court will 'probably' dismiss the FTA. (Don't count on it though, depends on the judges mood)
One things certain, the longer you let it fester, the more the fines will build up to, and the less willing the judge will be to give you a break.

The fact you no longer own the vehicle does not change the tickets. You need to go to court and pay the fines. You owned the vehicle when the ticket was issued so the disposal of the vehicle is immaterial.

frequently they'll drop the fee ticket in case you get it sign up with in 7 - 10 mdays from the time you purchased the fee ticket,only take evidence of the hot registration slip as much as the j p place of work so as that they could see which you had it re newed , they could have you ever to pay $5. - $10 greenbacks to drop it.

pay the 500 dollars. it gonna cost you more in time and effort to prove this car was unusable. besides, you cannot argue that the vehicle was not yours or you had sold it. so pay up and move on.
