The best vehicles found at the Volunteers of America Auto Auction in Columbus, Ohio – June 2016
Cars, boats and bikes – oh my!
The auto auction is where your donated vehicles go at the end of the donation process. The money from the Volunteers of America of Greater Ohio auto auction provides funding for our various programs that help homeless veterans, young offenders tryin to become productive members of society, and even families in need of shelter.
The auto auction takes place every other Saturday at 5640 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio, 43228.
We accept cars, trucks, SUVs, boats, lawnmowers, planes (really) and pretty much anything with a motor.
Here are the gems that showed up for the auction in June 2016.
2002 HYUNDAI SANTA FE
This SUV comes with 155,494 hard-earned miles and plenty of room in the back to haul your gear for your next weekend adventure.
1983 YAMAHA XV500
With only 12,495 original miles on this seasoned road hog, there's life yet in this early 80s motorcycle. Would make a great project for someone looking for a smaller bike.
2003 MERCEDES C230
Welcome to the C-Class! This 2-door speedster is still a crisp white and only has 138,026 miles on it. Nobody does it like Mercedes.
1977 SEA RAY
This 19' 11" boat is a cool blue water warrior. This boat is one of three boats (and a jetski) available during June at the auction. It is boating season after all!
2010 BUICK LACROSSE
Roomy, packed with amenities and a smooth ride. This vehicle comes with 188,751 miles of adventures to its name.

- Online: Just fill out our online form, and we'll contact you to schedule a convenient pickup time.
- By phone: Call us at 800-862-6030 to start the donation process.
- In person: If you're in the Columbus area, you can just drop your car with a clean title at 5640 W. Broad St., Columbus, Ohio, 43228.
We appreciate your vehicle donation. It will help us make a difference in your community.
