Charities don’t really care about the condition of a car being donated. They even offer to tow inoperable cars for free.

In most cases, the donated car is sold as a package for a flat fee per car where the next step is a salvage yard. Not-for-profit organizations are not usually in the business of selling used cars. So, it is not in their best interest to try and resell the car to another consumer.

When the CARS program ends, neglected cars donated to charity will resume.

Charity begins at home during times of low money, unemployment, etc. It’s unfortunate, but it makes a ton of sense. I was on a dealer’s lot the other day, and most of the clunkers that had been turned in were barely drivable. No charity would have wanted most of these vehicles anyway.
