My 95 SE 5 speed has been kinda abused in its old age but it just keeps going. After 217K miles of hard driving I am donating it and buying a 5.6 Nissan Armada.

The 95 has black leather, budget y-pipe, Momo shift ****, hai, STB, Yakima car rack, and unused NOS dry-kit that I will be listing in the For Sale section.

I still have the 02 SE so I can still visit the .org

edited because this retard thinks every Nissan engine is a VQ (would be a good marketing ploy)

 

You're donating it to what???

To me ?? THANKS! Ur the best man

 

donate the y-pipe to me

 

sorry guys the car is going to be donated to a valid charity that can provide a receipt for tax purposes.

items will either be sold/traded or left with the car. I want to donate it as a daily driver.

 

i and the owner of the "I need an another max foundation" you cant have just one

 

I'm not part of an organization I wish I could give you a receipt but my girlfriend is in need of a car, after her 1996 Neon has given its all, this would be amazing to get for her.

 

I'll give you a stock ypipe for urs

vq56 wtf that would be cool

 

Aye, hate to pose this question, since charities are a good thing...

Ever considered just selling it cheap to an org member. I mean, whatever you're gonna save in taxes, sell it to an org member for the tax credit amount, and whatever small taxes you'd have to pay.

I'm sure there may be a few org members who would benefit from this "donation".

hehe, or I guess it would be super easy just to write it off, and drive it to your local charity.

oh yah and 5.6L sounds like...

 

Tax when registering a 95 maxima is like $25.

 

My first thought was to just give it to my 18 year old cousin who always dog sits for me. Unfortunately I have massive school loans coming due next year and need to save as much money as possible. With the high mileage, original suspension, 2 bald tires, and other small issues I don't think I would feel right selling it for over $2K if it is even worth that much. The dealer probably won't go over $1200.
Since the tax laws don't change until next year I can probably write of the NADA retail price which for this car is just under $6K without feeling guilty that a private owner, especially from the .org, is saddled by any of the vehicles' issues.

 

I meant, lets say the writeoff to a charity is $3-4K. Taxes saved is 30-40%, which equals $1050-$1400. Plus any small fees he'd have to pay. I've never sold a car, so I dunno about capital gains tax (tho im sure ur not making a profit).

Edit: NADA price is 6K? hehe. cool.

 

I don't think I pay any capital gains on a car sale but I'm not a CPA. I put in relevant info at KBB to get the retail price and private sale price and the numbers were about $5800 and $4600 respectively. At the least I get back approximately $2K without someone feeling ripped-off.

I dunno I hate selling used cars, I know it is 'buyer beware' but I would still feel $hitty if some kid spent his hard earned income on a car that need a lot of work within a few months. I felt bad about selling my Eclipse GST because I knew it was a piece of crap. Even though their were no impending issues to warn him about I bet they were there soon enough.
