So helping someone I know with their wreaked car. Fixing it is not really an option so they are looking into donating it as a tax write off or something. Do any of y'all have any experience with this? Need to get rid of it soon because city starting to complain. Any advice would be appreciated.
I set that up and it was real easy. However, I didn’t get the tax write off since I didn’t make enough to have a net effect at the end of the year.
I’d look into talking to your local pick and pull yard to see if they’re willing to buy it—or they can at least point u in the right direction.
The yard was gonna be my call back but thanks for this. The person in question doesn't earn much so they should be able to get something maybe. Also thanks.
See if there's a technical program around you that'll take it. Whatever you do don't donate it to cars for kids, it's a zionist "charity."
Looked at some online and before you told me the Zionist part the whole kars4kids looked and sounded super sketchy. Found a place maybe that says will donate money to a local charity of choice which sounds cool, maybe convince them to get it towards a food bank or something. Also thanks for the heads up.
you might be able to sell it to someone who parts out cars, just throw it up on facebook marketplace as a parts car for like 500-600 and you might get someone who wants it.
Wanted to do this but thought maybe with everything going on right now people might not have a lot to buy right now. Still the owner just wants to be rid of it. Thanks for this suggestion though.
people part cars out as a side hustle all over the place so it might be a lot easier to get someone to come pick it up than you think
You're right I think, still need to consult the owner to see what they want though.
Someone out there is always looking for a $500 car if for nothing else than to cut the catalytic converters out to sell, and sell the rest as scrap.
The owner wanted to do this but was worried that the car would just be picked apart and the carcass just left there.
Needs like a forklift to move it and tow truck mostly why we think people are out.
Yeah owner got a letter from the city saying get rid of it soon. Gonna look into options tomorrow.
If you're looking for tax write off stuff, check around town for local 501(c)3 orgs.
Like, the local NPR affiliate where I'm at has a program, so there's probably others.
