Categories we accept

Cars & Sedans
1995-present

Donated cars are often auctioned off to the highest bidder, providing funds for local services. If the vehicle doesn't sell, it may be recycled for parts or scrap, ensuring minimal waste.

Florida's bustling cities and suburbs make cars a common sight, and your donation can help ensure local families have reliable transportation.

Pickup Trucks
1995-present

Pickup trucks are frequently resold at auction, or they may be disassembled for parts. Many donors appreciate the utility these vehicles offer, creating jobs and funds.

In rural areas of Florida, pickup trucks are essential for farming and construction, making your donation even more impactful.

SUVs & Crossovers
1995-present

SUVs and crossovers often fetch a good price at auction and can be refurbished to provide dependable transportation for families in need.

With Florida's families needing spacious vehicles for school runs and trips to the beach, your donation can fill a real need.

Motorcycles
1995-present

Motorcycles can be auctioned as-is or refurbished, which adds to their value. Funds generated help support essential local services.

Floridians enjoy the open road, and your motorcycle donation could help fund community programs that keep our roads safe.

RVs & Campers
1995-present

RVs and campers are often sold at auction as recreational vehicles or repurposed into mobile homes, benefiting families looking for hospitality.

With Florida's gorgeous landscapes, RVs are popular for travel. Your donation helps keep the spirit of exploration alive for local families.

Boats
1995-present

Boats can be sold at auction or repurposed for parts. Donating a boat ensures it finds a new life, funding programs for our neighbors.

In coastal areas, boats are vital for fishing and recreation. Your donation supports individuals who rely on these activities.

Commercial Vehicles
1995-present

Commercial vehicles often fetch higher auction prices and can be refurbished for new owners, generating funds for community initiatives.

With Florida's growing economy, your commercial vehicle donation can support local businesses and entrepreneurs.

Non-running Vehicles
1980-present

Even non-running vehicles can be valuable. They may be recycled for parts or salvaged, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.

Many Floridians have old cars sitting in their driveways; donating them helps clear space while helping others.

Condition guide

At Palm Motor Legacy, we accept vehicles in various conditions. Running vehicles are typically donated for immediate auction or resale, providing direct funding to our community services. Non-running vehicles are also welcome, as they can either be recycled for parts or repaired before being auctioned. Don't throw away a vehicle just because it isn’t running — it can still make a difference!

We also accept vehicles with salvage titles under certain conditions. However, vehicles that are severely damaged, have missing components, or aren't roadworthy may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If you're uncertain about your vehicle's eligibility, give us a call, and we’ll help guide you through the process with care.
