Are all of these "values" adjusted for mileage, accessories,
and condition of the car? If so, your selection seems
reasonable.

Default determining vehicle donation deductions

I donated a vehicle to charity in 2004. Kelley Blue Book
calculated its retail value to be $4900. Using Edmunds.com
the retail value was $2800, and the private sale value was
$1800.

I think the Kelley Blue Book value is too high. Would I be
safe using the average between retail and private 'fair
market value' from Edmunds ($2300) as an amount to enter on
my 2004 tax return? Thanks for any advice. Dave
