I live in Seattle and have a '92 Toyota Tercel with engine problems.
It drives fine, but produces too much smog and smoke. It won't pass
the smog test in WA, but you can just pay $130 to pass it and then in
theory drive this smoggy car for a couple years no problem.
I want to donate it to somewhere and I want to ensure it will not be
driven, because I don't want it smogging all over the place.
At first I called your standard auto-donate places, but they can't
ensure it won't get driven around after I donate it. I was thinking
maybe a high school chop shop or something like that, so it will get
taken apart or have the engine rebuilt, rather than become a cheap
beater car for someone to drive around.
Anyway, I haven't found a place that will take it and also assure me
they'll take it apart or do something other than put it somewhere it
might get sold to someone who might end up driving it around in its
current condition.
Rather than having me spend the time to actually render the engine
totally unsuable, which sounds like a hassle, please find me a place
to donate it where it could be used for parts or learning, but not for
driving. Tax deductible a bonus, but not necessary.
