Common models we see

Typical scenarios

Retired Town Car from a Livery Service

Many Town Cars are retired after years of dedicated service in the livery industry. Donating your aging Town Car can help it continue to serve the community in a new capacity, providing transportation for those in need.

Well-Maintained Navigator

The Lincoln Navigator, sharing its platform with the Ford Expedition, remains a sought-after vehicle. Donating a well-maintained Navigator can ensure it continues to offer reliable transportation for volunteer drivers.

Continental Collector's Item

Lincoln Continental models from 2017 to 2020 have gained collector interest. Donating one of these luxury vehicles not only aids the community but may also secure you significant tax benefits under IRS regulations.

MKZ Family Sedan Donation

As a dependable middle-tier family car, the MKZ has served many Tennessee families. Donating your MKZ can help provide vital transportation for families in need or support local organizations with reliable vehicles.

What affects donation value

The value of your Lincoln donation is influenced by its make, model, age, and condition. Luxury models like the Lincoln Continental and Navigator often appraise higher due to their desirability and reliability. The robust Ford powertrain, particularly the durable twin-turbo EcoBoost engine, contributes to long-term durability, which can enhance resale value. This means your donation can provide substantial tax benefits, especially if your vehicle qualifies for IRS Form 8283 Section B for appraisals over $5,000. Ensuring that your Lincoln is in good condition can significantly impact how much it’s valued and how effectively it can serve its new purpose.

Tennessee context

Tennessee residents often have a deep appreciation for American-made vehicles like Lincoln. With many models transitioning from fleet use to personal ownership, the state sees a range of Lincoln vehicles that can greatly benefit local charities and community services. Volunteer Wheels understands this context and ensures that every Lincoln donation is put to good use, providing much-needed transportation options throughout Tennessee's diverse communities.
