How pickup works
When it comes to picking up your ATV, UTV, or Side-by-Side, we make the process straightforward and hassle-free. For most off-road vehicles, a title is not required; we can accept vehicles with an MSO bill-of-sale chain. Our team typically uses a trailer or small flatbed for transport, ensuring your vehicle is lifted carefully and securely. If your vehicle is stored at a farm or ranch, we will coordinate with you to arrange a convenient pickup time. Even if your vehicle is non-running, we can still pick it up, provided we have the necessary identification through the VIN or engine number.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated ATV, UTV, or Side-by-Side can vary significantly based on several factors. For four-stroke ATVs, the hours of use often matter more than mileage, so well-maintained vehicles with documented service records typically fetch a higher value. Models like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs generally hold their value well in the used market. Remember, while cosmetic imperfections like dents and faded plastics may impact the overall value, a vehicle’s runability can provide a premium. Even non-running units can hold parts value, making your donation worthwhile.

- MSO (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) for off-road vehicles

Delaware specifics
In Delaware, the DMV has specific regulations regarding off-road vehicles like ATVs and UTVs. Many of these vehicles do not require a title if they are strictly off-road and can be transferred using a bill-of-sale. This simplifies the donation process and allows us to serve the community better. At First State Autos, we stay updated on state rules to ensure your donation is compliant and smooth.
