Ideas for selling/donating my van?

[pgackerman]

Good morning folks.  Looking for ideas to solve a predicament.  Our van's transmission went out while we were in Augusta, on our way to Savannah.  Had it towed to Milton Rueben Toyota where they rented us a vehicle while they looked at the van.  Turns out we'll be $6500 poorer to replace the transmission on a van we only paid $9000 for two years ago.  Bye-bye van.  Here's the problem.

Eventually (Monday?) we need to return our $60/day rental to the dealership, get the van's title in Rome (in a safety deposit box), and sell the van.  The dealer is currently offering $500(!?!) for the van.  Any ideas how we can get more, or a better disposal idea?

Thanks in advance.

Kars For Kids and there's another non-profit with a person's name (can't remember it) that will accept them.  I think you can put a stated value to the vehicle for tax deduction purposes. Of course, you must have enough to itemize to take advantage of this.

Georgia Agape, a faith based adoption agency, also accepts car donations.
