Tax law requires that Jubilee Cars inform the donor of the vehicle’s condition and the sales value at disposition. Once the vehicle has been disposed of, donors will be informed by mail of the vehicle’s disposition and the value of the vehicle that was established upon disposition. Typically a vehicle’s value is determined one of four ways:

• Salvage–These vehicles are not repairable (or not financially feasible to repair) and are sold by Outreach to be salvaged for parts. The value of these vehicles is no more than $499.
• Sale–Vehicles that run but are not given to new owners by Jubilee Cars are sold through various channels. The value of these vehicles is the amount obtained by Jubilee Cars when sold. Within 30 days of the vehicle’s sale, the donor will be informed of this value by mail.
• Repaired then Sold–Vehicles requiring substantial repairs that are repaired by Jubilee Cars and then sold. This may take a significant time to complete. As a “repaired” vehicle, the value of the donation for these vehicles is the fair market value at the time of donation. In these instances, the donor may claim the vehicle’s fair market value at the time of donation, per Blue Book guidelines (not to exceed the private party value). Vehicles must be worth repairing to be determined by Jubilee Cars, and the donor will receive notice that the car has been repaired and disposed of.
• Distribution–Vehicles that are given to new owners by Jubilee Cars are given freely and thus no value is established by a sale. In these instances, the donor will be allowed by the IRS to claim the vehicle’s fair market value at the time of donation, per Blue Book guidelines (not to exceed the private party value). For more information on IRS guidelines, please see IRS Publication 4303—“A Donor’s Guide to Vehicle Donations.”

We work hard to maximize the value of each donated vehicle. Vehicles not given to a client within the organization are usually sold in an arm’s length deal for the private-party value listed in the Kelly Blue Book. The goal is to extract the maximum amount from each car possible, enabling Jubilee Cars to give more vehicles away.
