It will harm donations of cars to charity because the voucher is much greater than the tax deduction for donating a car. Congress could have stimulated car sales by just returning to allowing car donors to claim the book value as their tax deduction. Since most donated cars are recycled, there would be an environmental benefit as well.<br />Karen Campese, CEO<br />Cars4Charities<br />http://www.cars4charities.orgkarenchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00645913520152716375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38590041.post-11170242848575139112009-06-26T16:13:01.235-04:002009-06-26T16:13:01.235-04:00I don&#39;t qualify because my car already gets good gas mileage. But my dad swears by the car buying process here: <br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/knflt6" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/knflt6</a><br /><br />It is kind of similar, though it uses dealer competition.<br /><br />I haven&#39;t tried it yet, but I might because it looks good. <br /><br />I have a feeling dealers are going to automatically increase prices because of the increased demand (artificial) for lower MPG cars. So the thousands of savings from this bill for consumers is not entirely accurate. The demand will increase prices and you&#39;ll get a voucher from increased prices. I&#39;m certain some markets you&#39;ll come out even as if they never offered this voucher. It is poorly written legislation.Juhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13971070789037251364noreply@blogger.com
