    Easiest way to sell.......lower the price until the market responds.
    (Or see if Carmax or a Wrecking Yard will buy - on the spot - with cash.)

    Profitable way to sell.....analysis like car, Carmax valuation, Book valuations and relist at that price which maybe what you are currently doing with no market response. Detail the car, take and post 30 pictures, matched set of nearly new tires, compile a maintenance record and receipt binder.

    Likely most Profitable way to sell...part it out. If seats and rims are in good condition that could be $1000. Could be a big hassle with much time (and space) allocated to this project.

    Tax donation...yes, amount based on what Charity receives for it. I believe it allows a $500 minimum (minimum) income deduction, which with Fed and Calif tax rate would be about $225 cash flow.

    2002 Honda with 240K mileage, snow zone/ road salt use?
    $17K when new?
    Original owner?
    What does the OP think it is worth?

    Good luck in your decision

    Hmm...Note to Self.
    In selling a High Mileage Vehicle.....patience is key. It may take up to 5 years or more.......

    you can list your car until it sells for $100. patience is winning, so if you were smart you'd list it for triple what it's worth to account for inflation over the next 20 years until it's a classic.
