FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Are
you eligible to donate?
You must have
title to the vehicle and it must be unencumbered by a lien. Your
vehicle does not have to run. However, it must be towable - all
4 tires must be inflated, there shouldn't be any major parts missing,
and it must be in a location that is accessible to a tow truck.
How
much will I receive?
You might
be surprised what your old car is worth! The IRS says you may
use any widely used guidebook to determine value. You can find
the value of your car by checking these web sites:
www.nada.com
www.edmunds.com
www.kbb.com
You can use
the web sites to print the information for your records. When
determining the value of your car for the IRS, you should consider
the condition of your car and subtract from the listed values
for items that detract from your car's value. You'll need to show
the IRS how you arrived at the value and that it was reasonable
if you are questioned. Be honest - you'll get a very nice deduction,
you'll be helping a very good cause, and you'll sleep well at
night! (Consult with your tax advisor.)
What
is the donation process?
Call us and
after we have been provided the needed information we will contact
the towing company, which will contact you to arrange a time for
a pickup.
What
if I don't have a title and my registration isn't transferable?
If you don't
have your title and your registration isn't transferable (your
registration should say if it is transferable), you will need
to request a duplicate title from your local Department of Motor
Vehicles. This normally takes about 2 weeks, and costs about $20.
What
do you do with the vehicle after I donate it?
Depending
on the condition of your vehicle, it will either be sold or salvaged
with the proceeds benefiting the transportation needs of people
with developmental disabilities.
What
is Glenkirk’s mission?
To provide
quality, lifetime supports and services which empower individuals
with developmental disabilities to participate fully in all areas
of community life.
