Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running
We specialize in non-running cars, which means you don’t need to worry about having a working ignition or even a battery. If it’s junked, we want it!
Title Issues
Don’t stress over the title. We accept vehicles with salvage titles, but it helps to know the status. If you’re unsure, we can guide you through the process.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
No need to tow your car to us. Our team will arrange a pickup time that works for you – even if it’s sitting in your garage or at the local RV park!
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your non-running car in Wyoming, title transfer is a straightforward process. You'll need to complete the Wyoming DMV form and sign it. Notarization isn’t mandatory, but it can simplify things. Remember to remove your license plates before the pickup; you may turn them back into the DMV to avoid potential fees. We’ll provide guidance every step of the way so your donation is smooth and hassle-free.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your non-running car donation can lead to a nice tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the sale price at auction. Once we process your donation, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C to help with your tax preparation. Keep it handy when filing; it’s a great way to give back while helping yourself financially!
Local context — Wyoming
In Wyoming, non-running cars come from all walks of life. Whether it’s a truck left behind during a cold winter in Lander or a sedan that didn’t quite make it after the last road trip to Yellowstone, we know that every vehicle has a story. Many donations stem from life changes, like divorces or relocations, where a vehicle just isn’t part of the plan anymore. Wyoming’s close-knit communities value helping each other, and donating a vehicle adds to that spirit.
