Just FYI - The IRS significantly changed the laws on donating cars as of Jan 1, 2005. You can no longer just write off Kelly Blue Book value. Make sure you find out what the charity is planning on doing with the car and that you get the written acknowledgement.

From the IRS website:
The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 will alter the rules for the contribution of used motor vehicles, boats and planes after Dec. 31, 2004.

If the claimed value of the donated motor vehicle, boat or plane exceeds $500 and the item is sold by the charitable organization, the taxpayer is limited to the gross proceeds from the sale.

Under the new rules, the charitable organization must provide an acknowledgement to the donor within 30 days of the sale stating the amount of gross proceeds. Alternatively, if the charity significantly uses or materially improves the vehicles, the charity must certify this intended use and duration and provide an acknowledgement to the donor within 30 days of the contribution. If the charity significantly uses or materially improves the vehicle, generally, the donor may deduct the vehicle’s market value.

I donated mine to Habitat for Humanity. They contract with a salvage company who comes and picks it up.
