are they auctioned off to new owners by the charity org? Before or after repairs are made? With disclosure of needed repairs or without? I realize that most donated cars are basket cases, and probably sold for scrap by the charity org, but with a decent car is your act of humanity possibly passing repairs off to some unknowing purchaser down the road?
I say sell it, with disclosure of problems. Lots of people aren't scared by things like questionable clutches - my pops bought a '91 C900 with a clutch that felt like it was ready for replacement, and it's soldiered on for 2 years and 30k miles, with the clutch still feeling ready to give it up....
