There are many reasons why you might feel it is time for a new, or new to you, car. Your present vehicle may be costing too much in repairs, your family needs may have changed, you may need better fuel economy or a host of other reasons. Selling or trading in your old car is certainly an option, but have you thought to donate old cars to charity?
When you donate old cars to charity, you provide the organization with a way to raise much needed funds to help people or animals in need. In return for your donation, you get a tax deduction from the IRS. Make sure that you research the charity to make sure they are qualified and obtain and keep all needed documentation.
There are several ways to donate old cars to charity. The most direct way is to drive and donate your car directly to the non profit of your choice. Many charities will either use your car directly such as to deliver food to needy people, or some may give them away to less fortunate folks as a means to be able to commute to a job. There are also many organizations that you can call to come and pick up your car that will handle the transaction and give the charity of your choice the money.
Either way, selling your old car with local and online ads can be a hassle, you never know who you might deal with and if they are legitimate, and of course you are not helping those in need in your community. When you donate old cars to charity, you avoid all the unpleasant sales process, get a tax deduction, and get that good feeling inside that you made someone's life a little better through your charitable donation!

"If you can find a charity that handles the transaction themselves, they can keep 100% of their profits. It's possible that the charities you already support have a car-donation program that you don't know about. Check with them first.........."
