Condition guide
When donating your vehicle to RevUp Richmond, it's essential to understand our criteria for vehicle condition. We accept both running and non-running vehicles, which means even if your car won’t start, it can still contribute to our mission. Vehicles with salvage titles are also welcome, as their parts may be salvaged for resale, and the proceeds help fund our community benefit programs.
However, not all vehicles qualify. If your vehicle has a significant lien on it or is missing a title, additional measures must be taken to evaluate its donation potential. Each case is assessed individually, ensuring that your donation can have the greatest impact on our Richmond neighbors in need.
Title status
| Title status | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| clean title | yes | Clean titles indicate a vehicle is free of any liens and can be processed without complications. |
| salvage | with restrictions | Salvage vehicles may require further assessment, but their parts can still aid in funding local programs. |
| rebuilt/reconstructed | case-by-case | Rebuilt vehicles will be evaluated individually to determine if they can contribute to our mission. |
| lienholder present | case-by-case | Vehicles with a lien will need communication with the lienholder before they can be accepted. |
| missing title | case-by-case | If the title is missing, we will work with you to see how we can still facilitate the donation process. |
