What do you do with donated vehicles?
Donated vehicles are taken to one of the sale locations CARS has throughout the country. From there, they evaluate each vehicle and make major and/or minor mechanical repairs when it is cost effective. In most circumstances, CARS uses auction houses to sell the donated vehicles. For unique or specialty items that have been donated, they may use other means to sell the vehicle to help ensure the maximum amount of money is received for each donation.
See the CARS website for additional details, including DMV and tax questions.
