Common models we see

Typical scenarios

Retiring high-mileage Altima

A long-time Detroit resident decides to donate their 2016 Altima, which has been experiencing CVT issues, rather than spending on costly repairs. They know their donation will benefit local charities.

Family upgrading their Rogue

A growing family decides to donate their 2018 Rogue as they upgrade to a bigger vehicle. They appreciate that their donation will help support families in need within the community.

Moving and downsizing from a Maxima

After accepting a job offer across the country, a Detroit native donates their 2017 Maxima. They find comfort in knowing that their vehicle will support local charities before their move.

Outgrowing the Pathfinder

A family looking to downsize donates their 2012 Pathfinder after deciding they need a smaller vehicle. They value the tax deduction and the chance to help others in their community.

What affects donation value

The value of your Nissan donation is influenced by several factors, including model, year, and condition. High-mileage models like Altimas and Maximas often retain significant value, especially if they’re still reliable despite common issues. Meanwhile, models like the Rogue and Murano, known for their family-friendly designs, have a solid resale market. EVs like the Leaf, while specific in their buyer pool, contribute positively to the eco-friendly narrative and can often fetch a good price. In any case, your contribution supports local charities and provides you with potential tax deductions!
