Windshield Advertising Brings in a 2001 Camry

I wanted to experiment with a new way of advertising for vehicle donations, so I had a banner put on the back windshield of my van that simply said “Donate Your Car Boat or RV” with our contact information. After several weeks, I was approached by a man that was at a conference I was attending. He saw my van and said that he had a 2001 Camry that he was planning on replacing and offered it as a donation through iDonate.com. Our local car dealer picked up the vehicle but after inspection realized that the head gaskets needed to be replaced and he recommended that we place it in a protected auction. Toyota Camrys are very desirable cars, and this car still brought $4,500 and, after the auction fees, was able to net $4,300 for the charity.
