I forfeit my battle with my GC

That's my 1995 Grand Caravan... just search my threads and you'll know why it has come to this. Just last night I was left stranded after the fan motor seized on me and the engine overheated in the middle of the road blowing steam all over the place.
My best choice is to opt to donate the vehicle, since I feel it won't be fair to pass the headaches to anybody else. I've heard that some organizations take any type of vehicle on any condition and if the vehicle is too expensive to repair they still process it into parts and still manage to profit from it plus I can claim some value for the vehicle on my taxes, instead of getting $50 from a junkyard...
Has anybody here done this before? How does the process go? I've heard of some horror stories about the problems of donating a vehicle, so I want to make sure I do the right thing. Can anyone shed some light on my direction?

I feel your pain .. from reading all the problems with these vans I'm sure I'll never buy one again. I bought a 92 T&C but just as a second junker and paid only 800 so its no real loss if it starts to act up. You can check all the crazyness I went through with the ABS on this one in the break light and abs light on thread.

I also had a 88 caravan that was stolen and had the trans messed up when I got it back, it was drivable to the junk yard, the junk yard paid me $125 for it. So you should call the nearest junk yard and see what they would pay you if its at least drivable that far one way.

PS I stick to Toyota now for anything I buy "new" lol
