I know it's an older thread, but wanted to throw in some BBB info....

There is a catch here...

OTE: Effective January 1, 2005, new IRS rules regarding the deductibility of car donations came into effect. If your claimed car donation is in excess of $500, please review the following IRS publications for information on the rule changes:

»newyork.bbb.org/WWWRoot/SitePage···33d70d4e

So, like there are things you need to do to protect yourself, like verify that it really is a charity, documents if the value of the deduction is over $500 and also over $5000 (that much, the IRS would like your to get an appraisal).


Good info..thanks :)

I donated a car last year & had extra forms to complete (previous years didn't require any)

Yes..make sure it's reputable - and save your receipts

They give them to a program for kids at the County BOCES schools trying to learn the automotive repair trade, and the cars are then given (after fixed) to underprivileged families who are struggling without transportation. Full tax credit, fast pickup. No hassles.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750847 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:57:24 EDT Re: I want to donate a car/suv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750708 nfixit2004 : thanks for the replys everyone, I know that every donation company does not do the right thing(or tell what the exact process is) thats why I asked here at my online living room ;) but anyway I will give a few of these companies a call. Gungerdin See Profile I looked at 1800charitycars and thought that was a good Idea but Iam glad you have expressed your experience with them. HardwareGeek See Profile what was the company that your sister and friend used( that company should be exposed to the world, and this is a great place to start)
I also have seen kars4dids website Kabanos See Profile but I dont need a free vacation(although that would be a great gift).
like I said the truck is hit in the rear but it still has great parts(engine, tranny, other exterior parts, and interior parts) or can just be fixed. I have put a ad on an local cragslist website but ford explorers are not in demand as of now(I guess) so I rather donate it then give it to the junk yard for $200(and they will make more then $1000 guaranteed !)

so Iam just looking for an honest true full car donation organization ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750708 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:28:40 EDT Re: I want to donate a car/suv http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20750537 Kabanos :
