Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vans. If it’s still got wheels, we want it! Even if it’s not operating, your donation can help us provide vehicles to those who need them for parts or repairs.
Title Issues
If your van has title issues, don't worry! We can still assist with the donation process. Just let us know what the situation is, and we’ll guide you through the necessary steps to ensure a smooth transaction.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We offer convenient pickup options. If your van is parked at a local RV park or in your driveway, we'll come to you. Just schedule a pickup, and we’ll take care of the rest, no matter the condition of the vehicle.
Title transfer & paperwork
In New Mexico, the DMV requirements for title transfer can be straightforward. When you donate your van or minivan, you'll need to complete a MVD-100 form. This form must be signed by you and may require notarization. Don't forget to remove your license plates and return them to the DMV to avoid any complications. Our team at Valor Wheels can help you navigate these steps, ensuring a smooth title transfer process for your donation.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation can provide significant tax deductions. Typically, you can expect a tax deduction based on the sale price if your vehicle is sold or its fair market value for direct donations. We will provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the donation details for your tax records. Always consult with a tax professional for specific advice based on your situation to ensure you get the full benefit.
Local context — Albuquerque
In Albuquerque, we see many vans and minivans donated due to a variety of local life changes. Perhaps a family is downsizing after the kids have moved out, or a business has upgraded its fleet after a major project. You might spot a Church van that’s seen years of community service parked in front of a local coffee shop, waiting for a new purpose. With a culture that values community service and support, Albuquerque residents understand the impact a reliable vehicle can have.
