- pessimizer 4y agoThey need jazz and classical music in order to continue to be named in the wills of octogenarians.
- yamtaddle 4y agoI wanna know how they're getting so many cars donated that it's worth devoting so damn much airtime to begging me to give them my car. I guess it must be working but I can't wrap my mind around how.

The proceeds outpaced the $850,000 generated by WAMU’s workplace giving program in fiscal 2012." https://current.org/2013/07/donated-cars-bring-big-bucks-to-public-stations/ https://current.org/2013/07/donated-cars-bring-big-bucks-to-...

- saalweachter 4y agoHmmm, tax dodge? If you can get away with claiming a donated value for your car of $X, on your taxes, and you can only get $Y for it at trade-in, could you have a $Y sufficiently less than $X such that you get more back in your taxes than you would from the trade-in?
- VygmraMGVl 4y agoThe tax write-off you get is determined by how much the car goes for at auction. You get a receipt so you can accurately file your taxes. There's no gaming here, unless you lie on your taxes, which isn't really a tax dodge.
- onionisafruit 4y agoI’ve wondered the same. I think it comes down to how people feel taken advantage of when trading in a car vs how they feel when they make a donation. If you are in a position where you don’t need the money from the trade in then you may choose the good feeling over the bad.
