Donate A Car: Got A Car, Got A Donation

Posted on Monday 1 March 2010

Maybe you have a car that is guzzling gas like a dehydrated camel and you are thinking of trading it in for a Prius or a least something that takes sips of the gas instead of gulps. Perhaps you have a truck that is just taking up too much space in the garage. Before you trade them in or try to sell them yourself, stop and consider donating them to charity with Cars Helping America.

If do this you will get a better return on the car, and not just in warm fuzzy feelings. You may not know this but the trade in value of a car is less than the market value of the car. When you donate a car to charity it is sold at market value and the proceeds of the car will go to a charity of your choosing. Because it is a charitable contribution you get to claim it as a tax deduction. Every one wins.

You now have extra cash to buy the new car and the charity has extra money. You might be thinking why Cars Helping America, what sets them apart? The difference is their methodology. They take the extra time to find out where your car will fetch the most value, whether it is an auction, e-bay, or a car lot and then they sell it at that venue, ensuring that the best price is received.

Also they do not charge you to donate your car and if your vehicle is not drivable, they will come to nearly any spot in the US and tow it away for no extra cost. There really are few other ways to get rid of your unwanted car that are as good as this. To start the process, go to carshelpingamerica.org and fill out their short, online form to start the process and within a week your car will be off your hands. On their website they have a more information about the charities that they support as well as information on how to claim the tax deduction. You could even donate a car today.
