Have you ever had a dead car in your driveway, or out back that you just couldn’t figure out what to do with?
It’s happened to me before.
We live in the country, remember? And we’re really NOT rednecks, I swear!
We once had an old Ford F150 that had tons of miles on it, but you know, all farm trucks just keep going….. The parts store was a good 25-30 miles away. We came across the same truck for a whole hundred bucks, so we bought it, as an emergency parts truck.
We picked parts off that thing for years.
In fact it worked so well that we also bought another ‘parts’ car the same make and model as mine… So now we’re up to two.
Did I mention that the previous owners of our property had left two non-running cars on the property as well? We’d long since pulled them around behind the barn so they weren’t eyesores, but goodness. It was starting to get a little bit messy.
So what do you do when you no longer need the extra parts cars?
You do the same thing we did when we had a big old gas guzzler that we couldn’t sell. You donate your car to a charity!
When you donate car you get a tax deduction for the blue book value of the vehicle. It might not be much, especially for the old cars left by the previous owners, or it might be bigger, like the gas guzzler we donated. Every little bit of tax credit helps though, and you get the satisfaction not only of getting rid of an eyesore (the parts cars), freeing up space in your driveway (the gas guzzler) and helping a good cause all at the same time.
When you make car donations you’re helping out more than just yourself!
