Well if you are wondering what your vehicle would bring you by selling it to a private party, of course you can check with an appraisal service or site like Kelly’s, but you can also consider donating your car to charity. There are lots of great and reputable organizations where your car will bring valuable and urgent help to the needy families right in your own community. For example, consider the Salvation Army car donation program. Or the Goodwill car donating program. There are many. Then there’s also Saint Vincent de Paul. I hadn’t heard this name in ages since they don’t have St. Vincent de Paul in my area in Texas; but I came across their donation program and it seems decent. To have a closer look at it, read on.
Here’s you have a national vehicle donation program that is run by a trusted, long-existing nonprofit, for example, some people wonder about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The car gets picked up w/in 24 hrs, tax paperwork gets returned back to donors promptly, and of course the best part, the car — or whatever kind of vehicle it is — and specifically the proceed money that is generated as a result of it — gets to stay put right directly in the community where the donor lives. I believe if you click at the top on one of the messages there you’ll find more information about this program as well as many of the other partner organizations.
Valuing your Car for Donating:
1. Look up the KBB
2. Look on Craigstlist to see what your car is selling for in its condition
3. Check other sites like Cars.com or Autotrader
4. Next, contact one of the links at the top of this page for a free vehicle removal.
5. Many people don’t realize that if they donate their car to charity, they’ll get a valuable tax deduction and get a chance to do some good at the same time.
