Updated #2: What the donor has to say

Here at Donate a Car Canada we strive for 5 star reviews all the way. Our effort is to ensure that your donation experience is 100% positive. So, when a donor expresses dissatisfaction? Hooboy! Do we ever take it to heart. When a donor is over the moon about their process? We’re over the moon, too!

On a special gift like this donated Ford Model A we know that there is a unique investment on the donor’s side of things. When we heard his thoughts on how it all came together, we were tickled:

“We were able to listen to the live auction and were elated to hear the
outcome.

On behalf of myself and my family, we want to thank you for all of your
advice, guidance, support, research, and networking in helping us to have
the car auctioned-off for a good cause. We appreciate you.

My late Grandparents, as well as my late Dad, all of whom owned and enjoyed
the car at one time or another, would be so happy with this outcome.”

And do we ever appreciate this family! ‘Here’s to your family being next on the happy donor list!

That rough-and-ready Ford might be worth more than you know!

Have you been following the auto industry news this past year? It has been all over the map! Twelve months ago vehicles, old and new, scrappy and running smooth, were worth a cool mint!

Things are leveling off now. ‘Good news for buyers. ‘Less hearty news for sellers. Either way? Helpful news for charities across Canada.

Whatever your vehicle make and model, it has value to the charity you love. Ford, Honda, Dodge, and Toyota alike: metal on wheels and powered by an engine? Its net worth can mean care for the sick, help for the vulnerable, and food or shelter for those in need.

Ford Mustang donor restocks the pantry

When a car, SUV, truck, van, or motorcycle is donated through Donate a Car Canada, it’s all about the donor. Every donation is reviewed, case-by-case. Each donor has choice of charity. In fact, they can choose any Canadian charity!

Recently, one Ford Mustang donor chose their local food bank as the recipient. In fact, at the time of this writing, we are processing 6 vehicle donations for local food banks! A Dodge minivan, two Hondas, a Toyota, a Nissan, and a Suzuki are all being recycled or re-sold to help feed Canada’s food insecure.

The donation outcome for the charities? It will vary from province to province, and by process. This is another reason each vehicle donation is a stand alone. The year, make/model, mileage, and overall condition of every vehicle is examined. Location determines scrap metal values, as well as the scope of anticipated re-sale outcomes.

When a vehicle is re-sold it can earn thousands of dollars for the chosen charity. This was the case with Bette’s Ford Mustang: she raised over $6,000.00 for her charity!

If a donated vehicle is recycled, the donation outcome can vary. In some parts of Canada we see such donations in the hundreds of dollars. Not bad for a scrapper; so very good for the receiving charity!
