Donating a Car

Just thought I'd share my very recent experience.

I owned a 1999 Izuzu Trooper with 187k on the clock....bought it new in 98. Our last Au Pair drove it for five years and brought it back to us two weeks ago. She is a great young gal. We put her through college (4.0) and other folks in the area helped get a job, housing, etc.

She got her own car so she returned the Izuzu.

I really didn't feel like going the Criagslist route with the vehicle...it is well worn, had some cosmetic damage and isn't worth much.

I decided to donate it to Breast Cancer Survivors: Cars for Breast Cancer.

I have no affiliation with them other the this recent transaction.

It was as smooth and positive experience as I have ever had. When I called they were polite, professional and very thorough on what I should expect, timelines and what documentation they would need at pick-up.

The tow truck arrived on time. He was great, funny and professional. The paperwork was perfect, and off he went.

I received the tracking status email for true value of the car for tax purposes and was assigned a log-in and password. Their website is easy to navigate and very straight forward.

If any of you folks ever consider going this route with an old car, I can highly recommend this group.
