Stampede Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 Been trying to sell a couple of cars with over 200,000 miles, and seems no one wants them. My price seems reasonable, but not to many bites, thinking of scrapping the 05 Equinox. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 No one wants an 05 Equinox? Lol. Sorry I couldn’t help it. Good car to maybe donate for a tax break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POS VETT Posted August 11, 2019 Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 It's not solely about the mileage, it's mainly due to the fact that it's an Equinox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampede Posted August 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2019 I thought about the equinox for a tax break, but how much would I get? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume whatever KBB private party value is you could write off as a donation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergwheel1647545492 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 With the new $12k standard tax deduction you likely would not benefit at all from writing off a car like that, unless you are some how close to the $12k mark for standard deductions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Unless it has changed (again), if you donate a car, the write off is whatever the charity gets for it. This changed many years ago. I frequented the VOA Auto Auction and they would run 40-60+ cars every week and would run a second mid week auction around tax time due to numerous donations. They would also hold back special interest vehicles for a "best of the best" auction once or twice a year. People could write off NADA value for their deduction. Apparently the government decided they were loosing too much money helping charities and made change to where the charity had to tell you how much they sold the vehicle for and that was your "fair market value" write off. VOA now has an auction every other week with 20-30 vehicles, no "best of the best" and not enough surge in donations for a mid week auction. Check your tax laws, your results may vary....

blue98ls1 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Trade in value on a 2wd equinox with 200,000 miles is $825 in good condition. Clean retail is $2900. You will probably get somewhere in the middle. Not much price difference for AWD. Equinox is a very bad word on our car lot. We don't say it often.

Geeto67 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 if someone offers you $825 for a 200K mile equinox, take the money and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
