We don't have auto repair at our school. We don't have any woodworking or shop classes at all. Instead, our school has a video studio, CAD lab, digital print shop, networking classes, and web design.

Instead, people can opt to take classes at our local community college (College of the Canyons), which is like less than a mile from our school. They have much better equipment than a school could ever afford, anyway.

Either that, or donate it, but my accountant tells me that since I have so little to itemize, there isn't much point in donation.

Don't bother donating either. I work for a non-profit and we have people wanting to donate their old cars all the time. There are many companies who will do all the work of selling off the car but the amount of money the non-profit ends up making is extremely minimal Plus that company gets it's own cut!

Honestly, it's almost worth you selling it in the Pennysaver or something. There are people who may want it just to sell it for parts!

Loan it to a vocational school instead. Probably same deal as if you loaned it to a high school 20 years ago.
