Other than being a nice guy, what is the benefit to donate a car to charity?

I donated a 2010 Nissan Altima to Charity. My form 1098-C states that the gross proceeds was $1,300.00.

 

I plugged all the info into TurbiTaX, and it did not increase my Federal Return at all.

 

What is the point of donating the car? I could have some it outright for 3 times that amount.
