Long story but a couple of year ago, I took in a Chevy custom van I had acquired in a money and vehicle deal from a friend. He had bought my 96 Honda Accord for cheap and gave me this thing to donate to a charity for a tax write off. We have an "Angel Car" program here were a local charity has Tires, Tires, Tires (don't know if thta's a national or regional chain) check out the vehicle for them and if it qualifies, they would give a value higher than scrap. Well, TripleT held onto this thing for 2 weeks or more before telling me they wouldn't fix it for the charity (it ran but had several issues).
That sort of teed me off that it took so long and then rejected it so I don't know why I did it except maybe I felt sorry for him but I signed it back over to my friend and told him to have someone in his family drive it until it quit running and then we could split the scrap value when it got taken to the yard. Well, I never saw any money from that after the van died about 2-3 months later and I figure the whole situation cost be about a grand from what I could have 3rd partied the Accord to someone else besides my friend. But they got good use of that Honda with only 1 repair (front ball joints) of which he did himself when things were tight for them so sometimes money is not the largest motivator. So hobo could luck in donating a no tranny van, more power to ya if you can get it done!!
