Should You Donate Your Car Or Truck?
I was talking with someone today who was thinking about donating their truck so that someone who really needs it could use it. They want to buy a new car so that they can save on gas. They know the bill is going to be higher as they own the truck, but things are going wrong with it and many places you donate autos to will fix them and then hand them out.
I wrote way back in December about donating a car to a charity called Car Angel. I referred this person to that post and they have decided that it will work very well for them. They had no idea that a program like this existed and they were very happy to try to help out.
I’m happy to see people thinking like this. Not only does it give you a tax write off, but your helping someone. In this case this person would only have gotten about $500 for the trade in anyway so helping someone by donating a truck seemed like the right thing to do.
