Condition guide
When donating to Appalachian Autos, we accept vehicles in various conditions. Running vehicles can be sold, while non-running vehicles are also valuable. We evaluate these on a case-by-case basis, ensuring we can still assist our community even if the vehicle isn't in prime condition. If a car has a salvage title, it may still qualify as long as it meets our requirements.
We understand that some vehicles may be beyond repair and carry salvage titles. However, don’t worry; as long as they fit our criteria, we can still accept them. Our goal is to make the donation process as straightforward as possible, so if you’re unsure about your vehicle’s status, reach out to us!
