Tax Information, Car Donation Auction Sale Prices & How to Increase Vehicle Value

 

Increase Vehicle Value How can I increase the sale potential of my vehicle? Since the tax deduction is based on the sale price of the vehicle it would be a good idea to make the vehicle more attractive. Simple actions like cleaning the vehicle and removing unwanted articles prior to pickup could make a difference. You can also take care of minor issues with the vehicle such as charging up a dead battery, inflating the tires. In some cases where the only reason the vehicle isn't running is an easy repair such as putting in new spark plugs or a new battery, you may want to go ahead and fix it so when your vehicle sells it will be in running condition.
