I would be PISSED if my car only lasted 225K.


Most cars can make it about 200k but not a lot more without major problems.

Sell it for scrap metal and parts. Craigslist, your local mechanic, the junk yard.
You'd be surprised how much interest you get: as the saying goes "one man's trash is another man's treasure

Still waiting to hear back from the charity how much of a tax receipt we'll get. They will auction the car off for parts and I'll get a receipt for the value of the car sold to a repair shop for the parts value.


As OP also said no pt as no tax benefit.

What kind? What’s wrong with it? Did you get an estimate?

So not ready financially to get another car but this one has 225k Miles and is 20 yrs old. I will have to get a basic replacement as it's not worth getting fixed. Anyway, I believe the donation write-off doesn't work the same way anymore like before - how would you dispose it in such a situation.
