A Campbell car carries real costs while it sits. Registration, insurance, and slow depreciation continue whether the vehicle moves or not. Donating it to a 501(c)(3) ends those costs in one step and converts the vehicle into a tax deduction.

For most donated cars, the deductible amount is whatever the charity nets when it sells the vehicle, reported to the donor on IRS Form 1098-C. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, the donor may generally deduct the lesser of $500 or fair market value without a 1098-C.
Vehicles the charity puts to direct use rather than selling have different rules and may support a fair-market-value deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with a tax advisor.
