What affects donation value

The value of your Polestar donation is driven by several factors, including its model year, condition, mileage, and rarity. Unique models like the Polestar 1 are highly sought after, often placing them in the collector tier. If your vehicle appraises over $5,000, it's essential to complete IRS Form 8283 Section B for a proper tax deduction. Moreover, our partnership with the Volvo service network ensures your Polestar is well cared for, increasing its appeal and resale potential.
