Fatty May 30, 2004 Share Fatty GC Founder May 30, 2004 You guys probably know where the blue-book stuff is online, or maybe ya have them with you.....I figure instead of being self sufficient, I'd come to the car forum and see if you can make it easy for me: I donated my truck to the church today, and they will just write a letter saying that I did just that. It's up to me as to how much I value it at when tax time comes. Details: 1992 Chevy S-10 2.8 L V6 - Extended bed Low miles (108k) Runs very well Brand new clutch New tires New breaks interior is in good shape Exterior has some rust around wheels, right through in the back above wheels. How much should I claim next year as a write off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r May 30, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member May 30, 2004 ONE MILLION DOLLARS Blue Book on it was right around $1,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit May 30, 2004 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member May 30, 2004 Hmmm....nada says between 1800 and 2500. I would guess towards the lower end with the rust. (www.nada.com) KBB says around 1250. (www.kbb.com) Edmunds says between 1000 and 1800 (www.edmunds.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblegum Bandit May 31, 2004 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member May 31, 2004 Hey, wait, I thought we were gonna paint it at FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty May 31, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder May 31, 2004 Well, the truck is basically a luxury for us...just sits there, and in the in-law's driveway no less....opened the bulletin in church today and the pastor had a paragraph about someone needing a car. A couple whispers with Amy and before you know it, washed, vacumed, notarized title and I dropped it off today about 2 PM. In a word, my truck has been sitting there while this other guy, while getting his life back on track, has been walking to work every day for a while. Was a very quick decision, but a very easy one. Now I gotta get one of those grate type things to hook into the hitch of the explorer for hunting...and then also figure out how to get a 14 ft. Christmas tree to my inlaws each December....those are the extents of our worries now. Thanks for the research guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bandit May 31, 2004 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member May 31, 2004 Maybe you could mention to him that we will give the truck a brand new paint job free of charge if he lets you bring it for the weekend of FF.... In all seriousness....its a great thing you were able to do. I like to hope that if I was in that situation I would do the same thing. Kudos to you and your wife for making the decision.

If someone here found a guide that valued your vehicle at $2500, then go with $2800 and cite new brake work, aftermarket stereo, etc. GO with retail pricing, of course you want to get as much writeoff as you can, depends on how brave you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty June 1, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder June 1, 2004 It probably depends more on how honest I want to be. I'll probably go with 1200, which is the number I came up with a few months ago when we were toying with selling it. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
