Sunday, 16 March 2008 |
We are always looking for vehicles that we will be able to use during the course of our avtivities. If you have a vehicle that meets the requirements listed below, please feel free to contact us about donating your vehicle directly to us. If your vehicle does not meet our listed requirements, you can still donate it and have it auctioned off, which will provide us with much needed money to help with our efforts.
Kaufman County ARES, Inc. reserves the right to accept or decline the direct donation of any vehicle, without the need for any reason. We will only be able to accept the vehicles that we feel will meet our current and future needs. Any other vehicle will be referred to our vehicle donation programs, click here for that information.
Your vehicle donation is 100% Tax Deductible*, up to the maximum allowable by law. Since this vehicle is being donated for our use, you will receive a higher donation value, than you would by sending it to our auction.
All vehicles are usually kept for no less than 2 years. If for some reason your vehicle is sold before the 2 year period is up, we will send you a copy of IRS Form 1098-C or an equivalent type of document**.
Here are the only requirements that we have for vehicles to be donated directly to Kaufman County ARES:
- Should be running or need a minimal amount of work to make operational.
- Should have a clear title/ownership papers.
- Needs to be of the type that we are currently looking for, as listed below.
- Current registration and/or inspection not required.
- No wrecked vehicles, they must be currently useable.
- Needs to be located around the Dallas/Fort Woth area, closer to Kaufman County and East Texas is better. If you live outside of this area, but have an expectional vehicle, please contact us for consideration.
The following is a current list of vehicle types that we are seeking for direct donation. If you have a vehicle that you feel meets our needs, please let us know.
- Any type of SUV, ie. Bronco, Blazer, Suburban, Explorer, Excursion, Exdedition, Ram Charger, Jeep. Should be of fullsize type not mini versions, ie. a Bronco II is really to small, though it might be considered.
- Pickup trucks, really prefer 3/4, 1 ton and higher, ie. F250, F350, F450, F550, etc.
