I'm kind of in the market for that kind of car myself. I need a car to just run errands in. I don't need it for commuting to working and back. I don't want a monthly car payment either for that kind of car.

The only thing that keeps me from doing that is not know what to do with that car when I do finally want to get a better car. It will have no value as a trade in, and I wouldn't want to have 2 insurance payments. Are they even worth anything as a donation?

You can always get rid of a working vehicle.

But to answer the question, yes, even a dead vehicle will have some residual donation value (or you can sell it to a junkyard for $200-500 scrap value).
