Donating Non-Running Cars in Lackawanna County

A car that no longer starts is one of the worst things to try to sell — buyers steeply discount for the unknowns, and tow costs come out of the seller's pocket. The vehicle still owes registration, though, and most policies require some kind of insurance even on a parked car.

Qualified charities accept non-running vehicles directly. Towing is included at no cost, the title transfers at pickup, and the IRS Form 1098-C arrives once the charity processes the vehicle. The owner is rid of the car and the costs that came with it in a single appointment.
