Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
While running cars are great, we specialize in non-running vehicles that have seen better days. No need to worry about getting your vehicle operational; we accept them exactly as they are.
Title Issues
Don’t fret if your non-running car has title issues like salvage or failed inspection. Palm Motor Legacy can guide you through the process of donation even with these complications.

With non-running cars, you might think storage is a hassle. Lucky for you, we’ll handle the pickup, no matter where your vehicle’s parked, making the donation process painless.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a non-running car in Florida, title transfer is vital. You’ll need to complete the Florida DMV Form HSMV 82040 and may require notarization. Ensure you return your license plates as well; we can help you navigate these details to make the donation as smooth as possible.
Tax deduction for this donation
The tax deduction you can claim for donating a non-running vehicle typically ranges from $500 to the actual sale price if sold for more. Make sure you receive IRS Form 1098-C from us, documenting your donation for tax purposes!
