Car Donation is Easy With NADAguides.com and the Vehicle Donation Center
COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 5, 2003 -- NADAguides.com, the nation's leading vehicle information resource on the Internet, today announced it has launched an online vehicle donation center at the company's website, www.NADAguides.com . The program, created through a partnership with the Vehicle Donation Processing Center, Inc., one of the nation's most comprehensive car donation service providers, is designed to simplify the vehicle contribution process.
"Donating a vehicle to charity is one of the most rewarding and personally satisfying things a consumer can do to assist his or her favorite non-profit organization," said Mark Perleberg, lead automotive expert at NADAguides.com. "However, until now, many people found the process difficult. We formed this service to provide consumers with the information and the convenience they need to make donating a vehicle to charity a simple and enjoyable process."
Consumers visiting the vehicle donation center at the NADAguides.com website simply complete an online application, answering basic questions about the vehicle they wish to donate. Then, they choose a charity to support. Donations of cars, trucks, vans, RVs and boats are accepted and the donor can choose from a list of more than 200 dedicated charities, including the American Council of the Blind, Cancer Fund of America, Children's Wish Foundation, and the Polly Klaas Foundation. Donors then download and print a detailed, NADAguides.com valuation report for virtually any type of vehicle -- the fair market value report essential for IRS tax deduction purposes.
Once the vehicle donation application is submitted, trained specialists contact the donor within 72 hours to assist with the completion of all remaining paperwork and the vehicle is picked up right at the donor's home or office.
"Our job is to keep the vehicle donation process short and simple for the donor while maximizing revenues for the charity," said Harvard E. "Pete" Palmer, Jr., vice president and one of the founders of the Vehicle Donation Center. "Live operators are on duty seven days a week to accept your car for donation, running or not in most cases."
Consumers interested in donating a vehicle to their favorite charity and realizing a tax deduction before the end of 2003 can access the Vehicle Donation Center by simply clicking on the "Donate Your Car" link in the WHAT'S NEW box on the home page of the NADAguides.com website at www.NADAguides.com. The donation center is also available in the Classic Car, Motorcycles, Boats and Recreation Vehicles sections of the NADAguides.com website and at www.charityfunding.com .
