Donating a Junk Car to Charity

Here's the thing about donating your junk cars over to a charity: it's much less of a hassle. With a junk yard or a junk shop, what you're going to get is a shop keeper that is going to want to haggle, and whenever you're in that sort of situation, frustration inevitably ensues. But if you donate to charity, what you'll get is a relatively hassle free experience, and the thing is, is that you'll likely realize more value from a charity than you will from a shop or yard. The reason this is the case, usually, is because shop keepers prices are nimble, they can properly reflect the ailing economy, whereas charities will go by book value prices, and will not really have an incentive to do anything else, because theyíre merely declaring the value, and not actually paying out this amount.
