Donate Your Car For People In Need

By peter henson

One of the most inconvenient aspects of purchasing a new car is disposing of the car you are replacing. There are three main options to consider: resale on the private market, dealer trade in, and selling to a junkyard for parts recycling. All of these options have their advantages and disadvantages. Resale is time consuming, and requires a commitment to returning calls and negotiating with potential buyers. Trade in is easy, but can give a good portion of your car's value to the dealer. Selling to a junkyard is a good option if your car has no resale value, but also involves finding a salvage car buyer. One way to make good use of an unwanted car is to consider donation to a licensed charitable organization. If you decide to donate your car you can receive several advantages:

Simplicity. Charities that accept car donations are professionals, and have made the donation process as quick and painless as possible. A worker will come to your home; you will sign the car over to the charity, and receive a tax donation receipt for your donation. Then the car will be towed away, and you will have room to park your new car the same day.

Generous: It feels good to give to others, and car donation is an easy way to make a contribution to a cause you wish to support. Many online services will accept your car donation and allow you to select the recipient of the funds generated by your car's sale.

Financially Beneficial: Donation eliminates the profit made by selling your car, but it can generate greater financial dividends in the long run. Vehicle donation is deductible on your federal taxes, buffeting your potential refund.

Only you can decide the best way to dispose of your used car based on its value, and the time and energy you have to devote to its sale. After considering all the options, you might find that it is in your best interest to donate your car. - 20765
