Reasons to Donate Car
Spinning Gold Out of Steel
Someone gets a new car. The old car sits in the driveway, taking up space. He wonders, “How much can I get for this car on the resale market? Is it worth the aggravation? How much will it cost to advertise it? How many calls am I going to have to answer? What kind of strange people might call? Do I have to take them all for a test-drive? Do I have to schlep the car to their mechanic to be checked out?
Often, people find that the most convenient and cost-effective solution is to donate the car. They get a tax deduction for the market value of the car, the donation gets picked up from their house and they never have to think about it again.
Cars For Kids (aka Kars4Kids) auto donation program accepts both functioning and not-quite functioning cars. Some of them are resold, some are sold for parts, and all bring in revenues that are used to pay for food, clothing, education, summer programs and guidance for children from the ages of six to eighteen.
Those who donate a car – whether their purpose is to clear space in the driveway or to help children – are literally spinning gold out of a hunk of steel.
