Here are some of the questions we get asked at Disabled American Veterans all the time
about car donation. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, call 651-251-7663 for more information.
What type of vehicles can be donated?
We accept cars, trucks, vans, fleet vehicles, trailers, boats, motorcycles, and RVs. If you have any questions about what you can donate, please call us at 651-251-7663.
What paperwork do I need to donate my vehicle?
In most cases we will need the title to the vehicle. But, if you do not have title papers call us anyway; other arrangements can sometimes be worked out. You may contact us by calling us at 651-251-7663
Can I donate my car if it doesn’t run?
Yes, we are able to accept vehicles whether they run or not. To find out if we can accept your vehicle, please call 651-251-7663.
Can I deduct the car donation?
Yes, vehicles donated on this site are tax deductible.
How do you determine the value of my donated vehicle?
Now you don't have to because of the IRS Car Donation Tax Laws, your car donation to an IRS approved 501(c)(4) charity is still tax deductible and will fall into one of these categories:
- For low value vehicle donations you can claim the fair market value up to $500.00 without any additional paperwork besides the receipt we will provide at the time of the pickup.
- If the gross proceeds for the sale of your donated vehicle exceeds $500.00, your deduction will be limited to the actual sale price. You will also be asked by the donee organization to provide your Social Security for the purposes of completing its IRS Form 1098-C form. If your vehicle is sold, all proceeds will benefit the Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota.
We will provide you with a receipt stating the final sales price of your vehicle within 30 days of its sale.
We will work to get top dollar for your car donation, however most vehicles are sold "as is" at auction and are frequently sold for less then the Kelly Blue Book value.
Do you pick up the car?
We will arrange to have your vehicle towed away at a scheduled time.
How do I schedule a pickup?
Call 651-251-7663 any time, day or night, and our representatives will assist you.
