1997 Nissan Quest Car Donation from Elmont, New York

Posted on April 19, 2012

Here we have a nice minivan donation coming from Elmont in New York. This is currently being processed in our Long Island facility region for auction. These minivans were pretty popular when they came out and although you don’t see many on the road anymore they are still a good, trustworthy minivan.

This particular donation has just over 200,000 miles and goes to show the reliability of the little VG30E motor that is in this Nissan Quest. As with most Japanese vehicles, simple routine and preventative maintenance will keep this van running for its new owner! Most issues with a Nissan are rather simple to troubleshoot if you come across any issues.

Posted on April 18, 2012

This Passat Wagon car donation came from northern California but after seeing the interest it had brought, we decided to bring it down to our local facility and do a Material Improvement to be able and attain the best possible write-off for the donor.

Palmdale, California SUV Donation: 1986 Chevrolet Suburban

Posted on April 17, 2012

Here is your mid 80s K-series Chevy suburban. The benefit to this one is that its got 4×4 and also comes with a manual transmission! These make for great off road trucks with huge swamp tires. A long travel suspension would do this truck wonders and will be able to tackle on whatever you want to throw at it.

I generally get excited when we get donations into our organization like this because you can just imagine the possibilities of use for whoever ends up buying the vehicle at auction. Since they are so simple to work on it makes for a great project truck. Simple modifications like a front bash bar and some Hella fog lamps would look awesome along with a roof rack of some sort. Turn this beast into a desert runner.

1984 Fleetwood Tioga RV Donation from Mission Viejo, California

Posted on April 16, 2012

Speaking of getting a nice RV donation in California, here we go! This 1984 Fleetwood Tioga was donated out of South Orange County and is currently being processed at our Stanton facility. This coach is very desirable and has very low miles, 41,112 to be exact. The class C RVs such as this one are great since you can park and store them on public streets but at the same time when you go camping you can have at least 4 people sleep in the coach with you.

Makes for a great travel RV and we are looking forward to the sale of this one. A little clean-up or a fresh shampooing of the entire carpet and cushions and this will come back to life since the outside has been well taken care of.

1986 Sunbird Boat Donation from Columbia, South Carolina

Posted on April 15, 2012

This is a simple yet very nimble boat. The boat was last being used almost 2 years ago and was operating perfectly fine. Since then the boat has been sitting uncovered in storage when the donor has decided to part with it. This is currently being processed at our Columbia regional facility in South Carolina. Often we get boats donated in non-running condition and we try to get the donors the most possible from these donations.

This little Sunbird will make a good project for anyone who wants to start with something decent. Just needs a tune-up on the motor and new battery and you should be ready to fire right up. Once you get the motor up and running, you can then begin to focus on the aesthetics of the boat.

1993 Nomad 3010 TT Trailer Donation in California

Posted on April 14, 2012

Here we have another RV/trailer donation and even though this is a 1993 this is in great shape! You can tell by the interior of the trailer that it has been very well maintained and kept clean after every time of use. The best thing about the Nomad 3010 TT is that it is about 30′ long and offers full accommodations without even having any slide outs. This donation is being processed out of our Fresno, California facility.

We do tend to see the majority of nice trailers and motor-homes in California but we are hoping to obtain the same quality of donations across the nation with our strong campaign in creating awareness towards Prostate Cancer.

2000 Isuzu NQR Diesel Box Truck Donation in California

Posted on April 13, 2012

The Isuzu is the most commonly used of all small commercial box trucks. This one houses a rather long rear box though and also has a 4.8L 4-Cylinder turbo diesel engine. It is believed that the Isuzu NQR actually has bigger axles and possibly even bigger brakes than the NPR.

These reliable trucks are known for going 500,000 miles+ all the time. This particular box truck donation only has 329,000 miles so there is still plenty of life left in this workhorse. It’s not often that we get this type of a donation but when we do, we strive to attain the best possible outcome from the sales auction.

California RV Donation 1977 20′ Winnebago Brave

Posted on April 12, 2012

The Winnebago Brave was one of the first few motor-homes which had been influenced by Native American tribes. This is a decent coach and has been pretty well kept. The donor has not used the RV in about a year so of course a tune-up and a full inspection are in order prior to trying to go cross-country. These older RV donations have your simple setup V8 engine whether it be from Chevy or Mopar.

Our organization accepts RVs and motor-homes from all over the country. Not only do we take those, but we also accept travel trailers and folding campers. RV donations are becoming more popular because of the hassle it has become to regularly maintain and also have a place to store them, we can help!

Posted on April 11, 2012

This car is another big player in the economy automobile category. Its a midsize sedan yet it still offers the great gas mileage as other domestic compact vehicles. The Hyundai Elantra is one of the most popularly sold vehicles by Hyundai in its history. It’s a car donation such as this one where we can expect to see good value come once it has been sent to auction.

The car is very simple and only has the essentials for an everyday driver. This particular donation also has the registration currently up-to-date and with just a little maintenance can be maintained on the road for years to come. Our goal is to see for the highest possible write-off for our donors, this can be seen with our Material Improvement Program which some vehicles may qualify for.
