Ever wonder how much you'd get for your used car? Nowadays, probably not a lot, with thousands of new models sitting on dealership lots. So why not pass along your Passat or SUV for free, and get a hefty tax break?
Its possible through Good News Garage.http://www.goodnewsgarage.org.
GNG is a non-profit car donation program that began in Vermont 13 years ago. Since then they've turned around more than 4,000 cars to people who really need a ride. Recipients apply to Good News Garage and have to share why they need a car, but can't afford a new one. 80 percent of clients are single mothers trying to break the cycle of poverty by being unable to find dependable transportation to a job or school.
Partner garages perform a 72 point safety inspection on all donated vehicles and mileage on most averages about 130,000. GNG staff even helps recipients register at DMV.
To learn more, watch the Fox 61 News at Ten on Monday, April 27th for my Fox Focus report. You'll also be able to see the story again under the Fox Focus tab.
