Once donated to charity, cars are treated one of two ways:

1) Charities can sell the cars for whatever monetary value they can get. It this case, they can sell them to a dealership or opt to for direct sale to prospective buyers.

2) The charity also has the option of keeping them. These cars are then used to transport persons or equipments.
