We chose to donate our car to Kars 4 Kids in early 1995. It was towed away in January.in September of my husband got a notice to appear in court in a town an hour away from our home, because the car we donated was abandoned and still registered to my husband. Kars for Kids stated on their web site that once they took possession of the car, they took responsibility for the car. WRONG! Kars 4 Kids wanted nothing to do with us.
Multiple phone calls were made to get Kars 4 Kids to make things right. We ended up having to go to court and spend a whole day straightening this out. Thankfully we swtill had the paper that showed we surrendered the plates and were able to prove we no longer owned the car. Apparently K4K sold the car to someone who never bothered to transfer the title, so the title still showed my husband as the owner. Thank God the car was not involved in an accident or was used in committing a crime and still registered to us. This was a mess, and cost us a day off from work.
Word to the wise: never donate a car to Kars 4 Kids.
