Vehicles we typically see

Seniors often donate well-maintained vehicles, typically single-owner gems like Cadillacs, Buicks, Lincoln Town Cars, Camrys, and Hondas. These vehicles, often treasured for 10-20 years, can have values ranging from $500 to $5,000 depending on their condition, mileage, and market demand. Each vehicle tells a story, and we honor that as we help you transition to your next chapter.
