In the heart of Knoxville, outdoor enthusiasts cherish their time spent riding ATVs and UTVs across the beautiful landscapes of Tennessee. Many local families have cherished memories of weekend adventures, whether it’s off-roading in the nearby Smoky Mountains or enjoying leisurely rides around farm properties. However, as lives change, so do vehicle needs, leading many to consider donating their beloved off-road vehicles. This is where Tennessee Auto Legacy comes in to turn your used vehicle into hope for the community.

How pickup works
Donating your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side is straightforward with Tennessee Auto Legacy. We provide pickup logistics that cater to vehicles often without traditional titles. For off-road-only vehicles, you’ll typically need an MSO (Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin) or a bill-of-sale chain. Our team will coordinate a convenient pickup, often using a small flatbed or trailer to transport your vehicle safely. If your ATV or UTV is in storage, we can work with your facility to arrange the best time for collection. Our goal is to make the donation process seamless and stress-free.
What drives donation value
Several factors can significantly influence the donation value of your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side. For example, vehicles with more hours of use rather than mileage, particularly on 4-stroke models, tend to fetch better value. Brands like Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs maintain strong value in the used market, especially when they are well-maintained and come with service records. However, cosmetic issues like dents and plastic fade might lower the value slightly, although a vehicle that runs well may still hold a premium. Even non-running units can have parts value that remains positive.
Documentation you need
- Current title (if applicable)
- Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Service records to substantiate maintenance
- Bill of Sale or proof of ownership (if title is not available)
- Appraisal if the vehicle is a classic model
Knoxville specifics
In Knoxville, the DMV has specific rules for off-road vehicles, which can include different title requirements compared to standard vehicles. Many ATVs and UTVs used primarily for recreation are often titled as 'off-road' vehicles, which may not require a standard vehicle title. Instead, documentation such as a bill-of-sale may suffice for the donation process. Understanding these local regulations helps ensure that your donation experience with Tennessee Auto Legacy is efficient and compliant with state laws.
