Typical scenarios
Classic Charger Donation
An enthusiast donates their 1970 Charger with a Hemi V8 engine. It has been a project car for years, and the donor wishes to support community initiatives while letting go of the car that has brought them joy.
Family Grand Caravan Donation
A family trades in their 2014 Grand Caravan for a newer model. Despite minor transmission issues, they recognize the value in donating it to help fund local programs for children and families in Indianapolis.
Durango Donation
An aging Dodge Durango no longer meets the family's needs. The owners choose to donate it instead of facing costly repairs, knowing their contribution will serve the Indianapolis community, particularly those in need.
Dart/Avenger Transition
After the discontinuation of the Dart and Avenger, a local owner opts to donate their 2016 Avenger. They appreciate the reliability of the Pentastar V6 and want to support new families in need of reliable transportation.
What affects donation value
The value of your Dodge donation can vary based on several factors, including vehicle condition, mileage, and model year. For vehicles valued over $5,000, you may be required to obtain an appraisal as per IRS Form 8283 Section B. Characteristics such as Hemi V8 performance or Pentastar reliability may enhance appraisal value, while transmission issues on specific models might decrease it. Our appraisal team is knowledgeable about Dodge-specific values and will ensure you get the most beneficial tax deduction.
