Best Place to Donate a Car
« on: June 21, 2016, 09:44:29 AM »
The timing belt of my 01 Status is shot and I'm looking to get rid of it. I would get about $100-$200 from  local junkyard so I'm thinking of donating it to a worthy cause. I have heard there are places that do give vacation vouchers etc for donations.

Any recommendations?

I heard that all the vouchers are the same and are bought for like $15 each voucher...

I seem to recall hearing some jingle somewhere about donating a car.

supposedly you do best in regards to tax deductions if you donate it to a 501c3 that will use it as opposed to sell it. If they sell it you only get a receipt for what they sell it for as opposed to if they use it they give you blue book value.

again not confirmed but what I was told.

Does anyone know the best place to sell an old junky car? I found a few quotes online but was wondering if anyone had any positive experiences with specific places (car is located in Bergen County).
