The ABCs of Car Donation - N Is for Need

When you donate your car to charity you do not just satisfy your needs. You also satisfy the needs of the charity you donate car to and those of the community.

Car donation satisfies your needs in many ways. First, you get rid of a used car you no longer need. You also save yourself the aggravation of haggling over the trade in value of your car with a car dealer. No one needs that! You will not need to pay for advertising your vehicle for sale privately. And you will not need to waste your valuable time waiting for people to call or come to look at your car or negotiate the sale price for the car. It is very difficult to sell a car that has a major problem and/or does not run.

CAR DONATION

When you donate car to charity, you will not need to fix it. Most car donation charities will gladly take it no matter what condition it is in. And the charity will have your car picked up fast and free, thus satisfying your need to get rid of it to make room for your new or newer car. You will also get a valuable tax deduction for your car donation. Who does not need that?

Most charities sell donated cars. Newer cars or cars that run are generally sold through public or dealer only auctions. This helps to supply the market with much needed used cars. Older cars, vehicle that do not run, are significantly damaged or rusted are usually sold directly to parts yards. There, the valuable parts are removed from the cars and the remainder is crushed. This not only helps to provide needed used car parts to the market, it also is a needed source or scrap metal, most of which is sold overseas for construction.

Charities rely on car donations for some much needed revenue. When you donate your car, there is an extremely wide variety of needs it can help to fill. With your car donation, you can provide food, water and shelter to needy people in third world countries or in your own community. It can go to help fund needed research for many diseases, illnesses or causes. It can be used to help fund educational programs or other programs to help young people. The proceeds from your car donation can help fulfill the needs of those currently suffering with physical or emotional problems, or those that have been abused or abandoned. Or, it can provide services for veterans, soldiers and/or their families. Your car donation can help animals either worldwide or in your own area.

There is a lot of need in our world, especially now because of the state of the economy throughout the world. The used car you do not need any longer will be used to help fill some of that need and also fill some of your needs. To do that, you simply have to donate your car to a charity that fills a need you believe in.
