FAQs

Will I become a donor when I donate my vehicle?

Your donation counts as a donation toward the Senior Center of West Seattle. CARS will send an initial donor acknowledgement letter. We will follow up with a letter of our own a couple weeks afterward.

How soon will the Senior Center receive funds from my contribution?

CARS deposits money from the sale of your car within 5 days of receiving the funds from the sales company. The entire donation process usually takes 6 to 8 weeks.

Why haven’t I received an acknowledgment letter and/or my donor benefits yet?

Your car may not have sold yet. It can often take six to eight weeks for a vehicle donation to be completed. Once the Senior Center of West Seattle is notified of the sale, it takes another week to process the gift, then a week to send out an acknowledgement letter.
