If you have a used car that is still drive able, you may want to considering a car donation. Detroit, Michigan has taken a massive hit in the auto industry but there is still some hope. Donating a used car can help a fellow Detroit resident who is underprivileged obtain a car. Nothing feels better then helping a person or family live a better life. Not only are you helping others, when you donate a car you are eligible for a tax deductible write off.

Many establishments also accept SUV’s, motorcycles, RV”s, boats, and trucks. Some people can’t afford a brand new car as we know. If you have the means it would be recommended that you donate your car. When your car is donated it will be resold at a considerable discount for someone in need. Some cars can be reduced to as much as 50% off their Blue Book value. There are many lower income families in the Detroit, MI among other places that need some extra help.

Many donators can still claim Blue Book value for their car which will not exceed the private party value listed in the appraisal guide. One donated car can make a significant impact in a person or family’s life. The ironic thing is that people need a car to go to and from work, yet they can’t afford one because their job doesn’t provide them with the funds for a quality car. With the price reduction a family WILL be able to afford a quality car to get them to and from work.

You may also choose your charity in some cases because the donor has the option to direct the proceeds from the sale of their vehicle. You can pick an organization to receive the proceeds from your car donation such as a church, private school, medical foundation, and other type of charity.
