Top Reasons Why People Donate to Goodwill

More and more people are letting go of their vehicles that have finally hit the end of the road and donating them to us at Goodwill Car Donations. Donors have different reasons why they’ve chosen to give their vehicles away to us. We’ve rounded up the most common ones:

• Towing is absolutely FREE.

There’s no need for you to shell out cash for speedy towing! What’s more, we’ll make sure that your car is picked up on a date and time that’s convenient for you. If it’s parked somewhere else other than your home, you won’t have to be there when the towing company shows up as long as you let us know beforehand where in the car your title and keys can be found.

• The donation process is quick and painless.

We’re known to give our donors their best giving experience because their convenience has always been our top priority. From start to finish, we make sure that we’re with them every step of the way.

• We handle all the paperwork.

We do all the paperwork for you—from the transfer of your vehicle’s title to the issuance of your tax-deductible receipt.

• No need to go through the hassles involved in reselling an old vehicle.

Think about the time, effort, and money you have to put in when you try to resell an old car. You need to place ads to let everyone know that your clunker is up for grabs, show and transport your vehicle, handle all the inquiries, haggle with prospective buyers, or worse, spend for necessary repairs to make your car more saleable.

• Get a maximized tax deduction.

Do you know that participating in our Fairfield, New Jersey car donations program qualifies you for a thumping tax deduction? If your car sells for more than $500, you can claim in full the actual sales price as your tax deduction. On the other hand, if your vehicle sells for less than $500, you can claim as your tax deduction either its final selling price or its fair market value not exceeding $500, whichever is higher.

• Skip the responsibilities associated with having a car you no longer need.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that you’re tired of being responsible for a decrepit car — especially when it comes to the point when the cost of its maintenance is higher than its actual value.

• All types of vehicle donations are welcome regardless of their condition.

The best thing about joining Goodwill’s Fairfield, New Jersey car donations program is the fact that we accept vehicles that no longer run as easily as we accept those that are in good working order.
