New Orleans is known for its vibrant culture and adventurous spirit, making it a perfect place for off-road enthusiasts. Many local residents own ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides, using them for everything from recreational rides to hunting trips in the bayou. When these vehicles outlive their usefulness, they often sit idle, waiting for a new home. By donating your vehicle to Crescent Wheels, you can give it a second life while supporting local community initiatives.
Donors often find themselves with ATVs like the Honda FourTrax or Yamaha Grizzly, which have served them well over the years. Whether it's a well-loved side-by-side like a Polaris RZR or a reliable Kawasaki Mule, your vehicle can make a significant difference. The donation process is straightforward, and we appreciate any condition of equipment as long as it runs or can be easily transported. Contribute to Crescent Wheels today and help empower those in need!

How pickup works
At Crescent Wheels, we understand that the logistics of donating off-road vehicles can be unique. Our team is equipped to handle pickups of ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides, whether they're located on a farm, ranch, or hunting cabin. Often, these vehicles do not have a title; instead, we can use a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or a bill of sale. Our pickup process typically involves a trailer or small flatbed truck, ensuring your vehicle is transported safely and securely. Just coordinate with us, and we will schedule a convenient time for the pickup!
What drives donation value
The donation value of your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can be influenced by several factors. For 4-stroke ATVs, hours of use often hold more value than mileage, so if your vehicle has seen less usage, it could fetch a higher donation value. Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs particularly retain strong values in the used market. Well-maintained vehicles with service records typically command higher donations. However, be mindful of any dents or plastic fading, as they may lower the value. Even non-running units can still have positive parts value, so don't hesitate to reach out!
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Bill of Sale documentation
- Service records to prove maintenance history
- Appraisal for classic or high-value vehicles (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
New Orleans specifics
In Louisiana, off-road vehicles like ATVs and UTVs typically do not require the same title paperwork as street-legal vehicles. The state often accepts bill of sale documentation for these types of vehicles. It is essential for donors to understand the relaxed DMV rules surrounding off-road vehicles in New Orleans, which can streamline the donation process significantly. Crescent Wheels is here to guide you every step of the way!
