Cars Helping America

Cars die all the time. Sometimes it is through an unfortunate collision with a wayward animal, sometimes it is through a close encounter with a lamp post on a winter’s night. And other times it is simple the natural consequence of old age or parts failing. When this happens you might be frustrated and not sure what to do with the oversized lawn ornament.

You be thinking about selling it for scrap or spare parts, trying to trade it in towards a newer model. Before you do any that, think about using your junker for a good cause. There is a way to turn your junk car into monetary benefit to yourself as well as to a charity of your choosing. The way you can do this is through donating your car to Cars Helping America. Before you say that that is fine and all but you want to maximize the amount of money you get, realize this: when you donate a car that car sells for the market price, not the trade in value which is often times considerably lower than the market price.

Doing some good with your junker is actually the most profitable thing that you could do with it. Furthermore, you do not pay for towing if your junker is so junked that it no longer runs. In addition, you can choose the charity that the proceeds go towards and with Cars Helping America supporting over 80 charities across all 50 states of the US, you have many to choose from. You may be eager to get rid of your car and impressed with all that has been said but still unsure how it benefits you.

The way you gain from this is through tax deductions. All the charities that Cars Helping America support are registered with the IRS as non-profit charitable organizations and any car donation to them you get to claim as a tax deduction. In the end, the sale proceeds of your car count twice; once when you claim the tax deduction and again when the charity receives cash proceeds from the sale.
