The IRS rules on car donations is that donors can claim a deduction on the vehicle as long as the vehicle is of use to the charity, the charity sells the vehicle to the needy for much less than the market price.
It doesn't exempt him from paying tax. But money donated to charity is not considered income, so taxes are not paid on it. This has the affect of increasing the donation, in his case probably at a tax rate of 40 to 50%.

In the United States, go to the Do Not Call registry at the link below and register your phone numbers. This should eliminate most private businesses from calling you. (Political parties are not covered by this, darn the bad luck!) Then, whenever you get a phone call, inform the caller that you are on the Do Not Call registry, and ask them to remove your name from their list. Another thing you can do is to ask the caller what percentage of your donation actually goes to the charity, and what percentage goes for fundraising expenses. Many of the call centers keep from 80-90% of the money raised, sending only token amounts to the charity. When they tell you (and in the USA, they are REQUIRED to tell you) how much of the donation actually goes to the charity, tell the caller "You should be ashamed of yourself!". They generally won't bother you after that.
You should find out how much of their proceeds are actually used for the charity as opposed to running the organization. Also, if you are donating for a tax break, make sure you read the tax rules carefully as to how much you can claim for the donation and what documentation you need.

Most charities will accept the donation of your vehicle. The vehicle is transfered to an auto auction company, which will sell the car at auction, then notify the charity of how much the car brought in. Funds will be transfered to the charity, minus the auctioneer's fee. You will then be notified in writing within 30 days of the amount for which the car sold. This is the amount you are allowed in terms of a tax deduction. The information is available online at a number of sites: www.charitywatch.org/articles/car.html
