So you might be thinking about getting rid of your car or upgrading to a new one. Well you will be glad to know that aside from selling your car or sending it to the junk yard there is another option. This option that not many people seem to know about is known as car donation.
Donating cars is tax deductible which is a great way to save on your taxes. You can get either the Fair Market Value of the car that the charity sells if for or in the case of more expensive cars you might need an independent appraisal. There is a few things you need to consider before you actually donate your car to charity.
The first thing you need to consider is the value of your car. If you have an old vehicle that you can see the ground through the bottom of it. The chances are it is not worth a great deal of money it can actually cost them more money than they make from it. They will still accept the car from you in the spirit of donation but it is really not the right thing to do. Except when dealing with old or vintage cars, their individual parts can be quite valuable.
Also many donation charities have pick up services. The best way to save them more money and make your donation more valuable to them is to drive your car there yourself. Just make sure you have someone to drive you back home or to wherever you need to be after.
