    Keep in mind that you can only deduct the amount the vehicle is actually sold for. If the vehicle is in poor condition, it will likely not have a high selling price.

    Suppose you donate a car and the charity sells it for $1,000. If you are in the 25% marginal tax bracket, that equates to a tax savings of $250.

    If you sold the car for $1,000 yourself, you would be ahead $750.

    Also keep in mind that most people do not itemize but instead take the standard deduction. People who take the standard deduction will not save any tax at all by making a charitable donation.

        This post is valuable in that I now see how useless Google translate is.

          Just beware the scam charities that take these cars and sell them for healthy profits in the middle east, abusing the 501(c)(3) nonprofit status and free vehicles that they get here in the states.

          My sister donated her old vehicle. To the local fire department. Where they used it as a burn prop during training exercises. lol
          History will judge the complicit.
