New IRS tax laws no longer allow charities to give you generous valuations on donated property. You can only write off the amount that they got for it at the auction, so double check all this with your accountant. This is why I think the best way to maximize your giving is sell the car yourself on eBay Motors to get the maximum amount of money, then give all that money to the charity. This way your favorite charity receives more money than they would through a contractor who sells it at an auction for them.

If your car is unusable, it’s sold to a junkyard for $100 or more,. The average selling price at charity lots is < $1000. If you donate a vehicle, get a written thank you from the charity verifying the vehicle, make, model, description, and VIN#. The charity must give you an IRS Determination Letter that verifies they are a tax exempt charity under section 501 (c) (3). If you don’t have this letter and the IRS audits you, say hi to Charles Manson for me. Some churches are not required to apply for exempt status, and may not have a letter.

You should be able to prove the value of the vehicle, so take photos, save classifieds, or an Auto Trader, and store them with your tax records in case you get audited. You may need to fill out a separate IRS form for donations, so check with a tax expert and do it by the book. Don’t inflate the value of your car, it will raise a red flag. Instead of hunting through boxes of receipts for a great tax deduction, look in your driveway. But don’t, stop there. Charities will take anything. Want to unload that Empire State Building that’s losing money? Donate it to Goodwill and write off $300 million! Donate your boats, planes, condos, stock, anything worth cash. I’m trying to get top dollar for my kidneys.

Ryan Shell is now in his fourth week of trying to get rid of his 2005 Toyota 4Runner. Shell, a marketing supervisor in Winston-Salem, N.C., bought the SUV used for $23,000 so he could carry his road bike without disassembling it. It’s not the worst of SUVs when it comes to gas mileage—it gets about 19 miles per gallon on highways—but it still is costing Shell about $320 a month to fuel. He often can’t even fill the tank because most gas pumps where he lives top out at $75, almost $10 short of what he needs to fill it completely.

“Rising gas prices definitely hurt the wallet,” Shell says, “but that doesn’t mean folks should go out and sell their SUVs for a price that is laughable.” On his way to a sale, he has come up with some creative marketing strategies to avoid losing both time and money.

In some respects, though, the odds are against Shell. Used-car values have dropped seven of the past eight months, according to Manheim Consulting, which runs used-vehicle dealer auctions nationwide. In May, the average value of used large SUVs was 24 percent lower than a year earlier, Manheim reports, while the price of compact cars increased by 5.8 percent. Manheim says a mix of higher unemployment, plunging home values, and rising food and energy prices has put consumers “in a funk.”

But some people are still buying SUVs, and they are your target audience if you’ve got one to sell. “Whether they feel they need one to fit a growing family or they are in a business that requires hauling materials, there still is some demand,” says Leslie Vander Baan, owner of Automotive Consignment in Charlotte, N.C., an owner-to-owner car lot where she continues to sell some Hummers and other large SUVs.

Here are a few tips:

Sell to individuals, not dealers: It is harder to get the price you want with dealers, of course, since they need to resell the vehicle at a profit. “You will always make more selling to a private party—an individual—than you’ll get in a trade-in,” Vander Baan says.

Shell has gone down the usual avenues in trying to sell his 4Runner: He wrote “For Sale” and his phone number on its windows and put it on Craigslist, but he never got much attention. A Facebook ad got the best results. The ad cost a few bucks to post and was viewed by about 100 people. The highest offer he’s gotten so far—$17,000—was just $700 away from the price at which the SUV was valued at sites like Kelley Blue Book. (KBB values can change daily with demand and other factors.) That’s $5,000 more than he was offered at a trade-in car lot. He also handed out fliers at a nearby college with the Web address where pictures of and details about the vehicle are displayed. In the first few days, four people came to test-drive the 4Runner, but no one made an offer Shell liked.

Leave on bells and whistles: While SUV owners are sometimes advised to take off the rooftop carrier to remove some weight—and be able to advertise better mileage—this could be counterproductive. Any extras that could attract a buyer should be left as they are. What he’s learned from inquiries about his SUV, Shell says, is that “people want it as stocked as you can get it.”

Lower prices: It may seem obvious, but lowering the price of an SUV to get something for it is better than never selling it at all. Cars can be very personal objects, but try to detach your emotions and view the sale of your vehicle with an analytical eye. “In this climate, you have to be willing to sell your vehicle for less than you think it’s worth,” Vander Baan says.

She and her husband drive a big 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe, so they know the cost of driving a gas guzzler. The Tahoe eats up about $3,500 a year in fuel. To ease the pain for buyers, Vander Baan suggests calculating the amount the driver would pay for one year of gas (based on the standard 12,000 miles per year) and offer to deduct that amount from the price. Shell checks his car’s value on the Kelley Blue Book website often, so he can adjust his asking price if needed.

Wait for winter: If you can, wait to sell your SUV until winter, when people are more apt to invest in four-wheel drives and bigger vehicles. “There will be an uptick in buyer interest in SUVs as we approach winter,” says Jack Nerad, executive editorial director for Kelley Blue Book. Even with gas at $4 a gallon, Nerad says, “hanging on to your current vehicle and riding out the current gas prices could be the most economical answer.” If you’ve got a four-wheel drive, it makes sense to wait, Vander Baan says. Right now, “it’s the shock in the run-up of the gas prices” that is keeping people from buying SUVs. “Later in the year, it will have diminished.”

Shell doesn’t like thinking about filling an SUV tank’s with pricey gas until winter, but he concedes “it would definitely be easier” to sell then. Until he finds a buyer for the 4Runner, Shell says, “we’re buying water instead of wine.”

Selling your car today is a different experience than it was just 10 years ago, thanks to the tools available on the Internet. Here are a few simple steps that can help you turn your used car into cash in the shortest time possible.

1. Know the Market. Is your car going to be easy to sell? Will you have multiple offers? Is it a hot commodity? Or will you have to drop your price and search out additional ways to sell it? Your first step is to check other online car ads. Most sites, such as Edmunds.com Used Vehicle Locator and AutoTrader.com, allow you to search with specific criteria. For example, you can select the year and trim level of your car and see how many similar cars are currently on the market. Take note of their condition, mileage, geographic location and selling price.

2. Price Your Car Competitively. Use Edmunds.com’s “Appraise a Car” feature to set the True Market Value^® price. This figure is adjusted for a number of factors including mileage, condition, options and the region in which the car is being sold. When you are done configuring the car, you can print out a “For Sale” sign to put in your car window. Be sure to leave a little wiggle room when setting your asking price by asking more than what you want to sell the car for.

3. Give Your Car Curb Appeal. Wash, wax and detail the car. Inspect it to make sure it is mechanically sound and free from dents, dings and scrapes. Shovel out all the junk from the inside of the car. Wipe the brake dust off the front wheels and clean the tires with a product such as Armor All. Thoroughly clean the windows (inside and out) and all the mirrored surfaces. Wipe down the dashboard and empty the ashtrays. Put your maintenance records in a neat folder ready to show interested parties. Have your mechanic check out your car and issue a report about its condition — this could motivate a buyer because you have to overcome one more objection they can present.

4. Create Ads that Sell. When creating your “For Sale” signs or putting an ad in the paper, you have an opportunity to communicate how eager you are to sell the car. “OBO” (“or best offer”) indicates that you are willing to entertain offers below the stated price. “Asking price” communicates the feeling that you will negotiate. It means you are asking a certain price, but might accept a lower price. “Firm” is less common, but it can be used to rebuff attempts to negotiate. It indicates that you aren’t in a hurry to sell the car — you are most interested in getting your price. Think about what you are telling people by the way you phrase your ad. Little words convey a lot.

5. Advertise Your Car. Traditionally, people advertised in newspaper classified ads but now online ads, such as the ones offered by Edmunds.com, are becoming more popular. However, you should also consider other ways of advertising such as posting a “For Sale” sign in the car window and telling all your friends your car is for sale. Creativity is required when it comes to advertising. Think of unusual places to put ads (skywriting is probably too expensive), and you will get results.

6. Showing Your Car. Bear in mind that when you sell your car, people will also be evaluating you. So, you should make a good impression, make buyers feel comfortable and answer their questions openly. Potential buyers will want to test-drive the car. Ride along with them so you can answer questions. Also, they may not know the area, so you might have to guide them along the test-drive route. Some buyers will want to take the car to a mechanic to have it inspected. If you have a report from your mechanic, this might put their doubts to rest. But, if they still want to take the car to their mechanic, this is a reasonable request.

7. Negotiate Your Best Price. If a person test-drives your car and likes it, you can expect them to make an offer. If their offer is well below your asking price, you will want to either hold firm with your asking price or make a lower counteroffer. Consider your answer carefully. Speak slowly and clearly to avoid misunderstandings. Keep the negotiations impersonal by focusing on reaching a win-win price. Give the negotiation process some thought ahead of time so you won’t be caught unprepared when the time comes.

8. Handling Complications. In some cases, you might reach an agreement with a buyer that is contingent on performing repair work. This can lead to misunderstandings down the line, so avoid this, if you can. The best thing to do is have your car in good running order and know in detail about any repairs necessary. Remember, a used car — particularly an old one — isn’t expected to be perfect. But it still might be useful.

9. Finalize the Deal. The laws governing the sale of motor vehicles vary from state to state. Check with the governing agency in your state, most of which is now available on the Web. When selling your car, it’s important to limit your liability. If someone drives away in the car you just sold, and they get in an accident, you don’t want to be held responsible. Once you have the money from the sale (it’s customary to request a cashier’s check or cash) sign the title over to the buyer or provide them with a bill of sale. Finally, remember to contact your insurance agent to cancel your policy on the vehicle you have sold (or transfer the coverage to your new car).

10. After the Sale. Occasionally, there are unexpected bumps in the sale process that arise. These will be handled easily if you are dealing with a reasonable person. So, as you are contacted by prospective buyers, use your intuition to evaluate them. If they seem difficult, pushy or even shady, wait for another buyer. With the right person, selling a used car should be simple and easy.

We are also delighted to offer a commission-based consignment service, whereby we will advertise and market your vehicle as part of our regular stock and obtain a price for the vehicle you set. To discuss consigning your vehicle please call or email us details of the vehicle.
