Condition guide
When considering a vehicle donation, it's essential to understand the condition of your vehicle. Running vehicles are the easiest to process and can quickly be sold at auction or repurposed for parts. However, we also accept non-running vehicles, which may require some additional processing but can still be recycled or sold for scrap. If your vehicle has substantial damage but is not beyond repair, we encourage you to reach out.
Vehicles with salvage titles can be accepted on a case-by-case basis, as they often require additional paperwork. It's important to note that vehicles with missing titles may not qualify for donation, but we can discuss possible solutions. Regardless of the vehicle's condition or title status, your contribution can make a significant difference in our community.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Title | yes | Clean titles simplify the donation process and maximize the benefit to our programs. |
| Salvage | with restrictions | Salvage titles can be accepted but may require more paperwork to complete the donation. |
| Rebuilt/Reconstructed | case-by-case | These vehicles may be considered based on their condition and local regulations. |
| Lienholder Present | with restrictions | Vehicles with existing liens can be tricky, but we can help guide you through the process. |
| Missing Title | no | Unfortunately, we cannot accept vehicles without titles as they pose legal challenges. |
