Donate Chrysler: Vehicles Benefiting Make-A-Wish Kids
There are car brands, and then there are American car brands — the ones woven into the fabric of family road trips, first days of school, and the kind of everyday moments that add up to a life well lived. Chrysler has been part of that story for nearly a century.
When it's time to move on from yours, donating to Wheels For Wishes means your vehicle's story doesn't end — it becomes part of something even bigger for a child in your community who needs something wonderful right now.
Why Donate Your Chrysler to Wheels For Wishes?
Chrysler owners understand what it means to invest in something built to last — something that carried the family, handled the miles, and showed up every time it was needed. Donating to Wheels For Wishes carries that same dependability forward.
Proceeds go directly to your local chapter of Make-A-Wish, supporting children facing critical illnesses right in your community. We coordinate free pickup, help with the paperwork, and apply our auction experience to make sure your Chrysler reaches buyers who recognize its value.

From One Family Vehicle to Another
There's something fitting about a Chrysler minivan finding its way to Wheels For Wishes. The families who drove Town & Countries and Pacificas through years of school runs, sports practices, family vacations, and everything in between understand something important — that a vehicle can hold a family together through the most ordinary and the most meaningful moments of their lives.
Make-A-Wish families know that too. These are parents and children navigating critical illnesses, facing days that no family should have to face. A wish gives them something else entirely — a trip, an adventure, an experience that steps outside the medical routine and reminds everyone involved that there is still so much ahead.
The connection between a donated Chrysler minivan and a Make-A-Wish family isn't abstract. It's a family vehicle becoming a family experience. That's a legacy worth leaving.
Chrysler Models We Accept for Donation
We accept most Chryslers in most conditions on a case-by-case basis.
Pacifica & Voyager
The Pacifica is the finest minivan Chrysler has ever built — and that's saying something, given that Chrysler invented the modern American minivan. Its combination of Stow 'n Go seating, available plug-in hybrid powertrain, and genuinely refined interior represents decades of listening to what American families actually need. Pacifica Hybrid variants attract an increasingly motivated buyer pool seeking efficient family transportation with real-world practicality that no crossover can match.
The Pacifica Touring, Limited, and Pinnacle trims each draw their own auction audience — from budget-conscious families hunting for reliable people-hauling capacity to buyers who want a fully appointed family hauler at a used-car price. The Voyager serves the entry-level minivan segment with the same fundamental practicality at a more accessible price point, attracting buyers who know exactly what a Chrysler minivan delivers.
A donated Pacifica walks into auction with a buyer community that understands its value — and those proceeds go directly toward wish experiences for local children whose families need something to look forward to.
The Chrysler 300
The 300 announced itself to the world without apology. Its bold upright grille, long hood, wide stance, and available HEMI V8 made a statement that no one could misread — this was an American car, built with American confidence, for people who didn't need to be subtle about it. When it debuted in 2005, it reminded the automotive world that Detroit still knew how to make a vehicle that turned heads on its own terms.
The 300C with its 5.7-liter HEMI draws buyers who want that combination of presence and V8 character at a price point that rewards patience in the used market. SRT8 variants — with the 6.4-liter 392 HEMI and sport-tuned suspension — attract performance buyers who want a genuine American muscle sedan rather than a European alternative. The 300S brings blacked-out styling and sport suspension to buyers who want the 300's bold proportions with an aggressive edge.
A donated 300 walks into auction wearing its American identity proudly — and the buyers who want it know exactly what they're looking for.
Town & Country — A Family Legacy
Before the Pacifica, there was the Town & Country — a vehicle that carried American families through decades of ordinary life and made it feel like something more. For many families, the Town & Country wasn't just transportation. It was the backdrop for memories that lasted long after the miles wore out.
The Stow 'n Go seating that debuted on the Town & Country transformed what a minivan could be — folding third-row seats into the floor with a gesture so simple and so useful that every minivan buyer since has expected it as standard. Town & Country Limited and Touring editions brought genuine comfort and thoughtful features to families who wanted more than basic transportation and got it at a price that made sense.
Used Town & Country models find steady buyers who know their reputation for practicality and durability — and every one of those donations puts proceeds toward wishes for local kids.
The PT Cruiser
Ah, the PT Cruiser. Love it or love it — and most owners did, eventually — Chrysler's retro-styled compact is one of the most recognizable vehicles to emerge from any American manufacturer in the last three decades. It arrived in 2001 wearing the design language of a 1930s hot rod on a thoroughly modern platform, and American buyers responded with genuine enthusiasm. It was quirky, it was bold, and it was completely, unapologetically itself.
The PT Cruiser community remains warm and loyal in the way that only truly distinctive vehicles inspire. GT and Turbo variants added some performance credibility alongside the style, while convertible models let owners enjoy the retro experience with the top down. Donating your PT Cruiser to Wheels For Wishes means its one-of-a-kind personality carries on — this time toward a wish for a local child. Not a bad final chapter for a vehicle that always had character to spare.
Classic & Discontinued Chrysler Models
American Icons
The Chrysler Cordoba — introduced in 1975 with Ricardo Montalbán's memorable description of its "soft Corinthian leather" — became one of the most culturally recognized personal luxury coupes of its era. Clean examples carry genuine American nostalgia that translates into collector interest from buyers who remember when these were everywhere.
The New Yorker and Fifth Avenue represented Chrysler's full-size luxury statement for decades — long, comfortable, powerful, and unambiguously American. The LeBaron convertible brought open-air motoring to the masses in the 1980s and developed a devoted following that still shows up at auction for clean examples.
The Chrysler Crossfire — a stylish two-seat sports coupe developed in partnership with Mercedes — brought European flair to the Chrysler lineup and found buyers who appreciated its distinctive character. Limited production and unusual styling have made clean examples increasingly interesting to collectors.
The 300M, LHS & Concorde
The 300M sedan from the late 1990s and early 2000s carried Chrysler's performance heritage into a more modern package — its 3.5-liter V6 and sport-tuned suspension made it one of the more engaging American sedans of its era. The LHS and Concorde served buyers who wanted spacious, comfortable transportation with Chrysler's refinement at an accessible price point. These vehicles find practical buyers who appreciate what American engineering produced in that era.
We evaluate every vehicle on a case-by-case basis — and Chrysler's reputation for building vehicles with genuine character means even older, high-mileage examples often retain more value than donors expect.
How to Donate Your Chrysler in Three Steps
Step One: Call us at 1-855-278-9474 or fill out our car donation form. We accept most Chryslers in most conditions on a case-by-case basis. Wondering if your older model qualifies? We welcome old cars too — take a look.
Step Two: We arrange free pickup at your convenience, wherever your Chrysler is parked. We come to you — no need to move it yourself.
Step Three: After your vehicle sells, we'll send your tax-deductible receipt reflecting the final sale value. You'll know your Chrysler went somewhere it matters.
Chrysler Donation Value & Your Tax Deduction
Your deduction reflects what your Chrysler sells for at auction. When your vehicle sells for more than $500, your deduction reflects that final sale price, and we provide IRS Form 1098-C with everything needed at tax time. If your vehicle sells for under $500, you may be able to claim fair market value up to that amount.
Chrysler's broad American buyer base — families, collectors, enthusiasts, and practical shoppers — means nearly every model finds a motivated audience at auction. That demand supports both your tax benefit and the wishes your donation helps fund.
What Your Chrysler Donation Makes Possible
A well-maintained Pacifica or 300 typically brings $4,000–$14,000 at auction depending on year and trim. A HEMI-powered 300C or SRT8 with the right buyer in the room pushes higher still. Classic models like a clean Cordoba or LeBaron convertible attract collector buyers whose enthusiasm produces results that often surprise donors. Even older, higher-mileage models — yes, including that PT Cruiser — routinely generate proceeds that contribute meaningfully toward a wish experience.
Wheels For Wishes has helped grant 14,469 wishes for local children — road trips that families will talk about forever, bedroom transformations that made hard days feel a little more like home, and adventures that reminded kids facing critical illnesses that their best days are still ahead.
Chrysler built vehicles for American families. Now yours can do something extraordinary for one.
