You may hear radio ads stating that you can donate your car and you can get a tax donation right? right. But what you don’t hear nor what they tell you is the down side of this process that can only cause you frustration and headaches.

When I called up the local service in my area which we’ll leave nameless first of all answered the phone in a rather rude tone. Secondly, the fact that they said to just drop the car off up at their site in Cleveland and wait for a phone call and that when it came to a price I would just have to wait to see what the car sold for and then I would be TOLD what I would get for it. I know I might be naive about all of this but the way theymake it seem is that you show or tell them what you got they look it up on a chart that would somehow fairly tell them roughly what it might be worth whether through kbb or wherever and then they’d cut you a check/ tax credit for that amount. Apparently I was wrong dead wrong. This also means that they could have your car forever until it sold.

The car I was getting rid of I wasn’t in that big of a hurry but I didn’t like the fact that I had to drop off the car both sets of keys AND THE TITLE! to a place out in BFE and wait for them to call and tell me how much they decided they wanted to sell it to a friend of theirs or whomever.

I know this might just be me but I wouldn’t donate my car for nothing! There’s always demo derbys going on get a few spray cans and a case of beer and have a blast one day during the summer and smash the hell outta stuff. I’m the ACF and I’m out!
