Twenty Fun Things To Do With Your Free Time Over The Holidays
Car donation leaves you with so much extra time on your hands, especially during the winter months. Imagine trying to sell or trade in a vehicle when it's cold, icy, and snowy outside! Can you imagine how much time you would have to spend keeping the vehicle clean and bringing it in for winter repairs?
We hope you will enjoy our list of twenty things you can do during the holidays, with time saved due to car donation. If you haven't donated a car yet, then check out our 2012 Donate Car To Charity Guide and we'll tell you everything you need to know! There is still time to donate a car before the New Year.
Donating A Car Saves You Time
Selling or trading in a car during the winter months means that you need to keep it sheltered, and possibly forcing you to keep your new, drivable car outside in the driveway. Either way, you have one car to scrape ice and snow off.
When you donate an old vehicle to Wheels For Wishes during the winter months, you will have extra time on your hands to enjoy the holiday season instead of wasting time keeping the car clean, driving around from dealership to dealership in the cold just to haggle over a sales price, and dealing with the annoying expenses that we sometimes have to spend on our cars when it's cold out.
After you donate an old car to Wheels For Wishes, you'll have plenty of extra time to enjoy the fun and excitement of the holiday season. For fun, we put together a list of twenty things you can do during the holidays since you don't have to worry about getting rid of that old car of yours!
