If you could spend your entire life in the water, perhaps you would. But most of the time you have to be on the freeway to see clients, head to the office, or get the kids to school. And the incredible amount of time you spend in your vehicle is why you like to upgrade every couple of years – you want a car with cutting edge sound (for podcasts) and performance (for traffic).
Have you considered a car donation in North San Diego County? When you slip into the seat of a new car, truck or SUV, you’ve got a chance to offer a generous donation through our car charity program at Riteway Car Donations.
There’s nothing more awkward than trying to talk to clients or your boss when your Bluetooth isn’t connecting and you hear about every fourth word they’re saying. And when other features in your car start to break, it’s annoying.
If you’ve decided it’s time, consider going a different route when it comes to the car you no longer need. A lot of people just trade it in. Maybe you even feel like you know the car dealer by now – if you always go to Carlsbad Car Country or the North County Lexus Dealers, for instance.
There are a couple of things you should know, however, if you tend to go that route. You’re only getting 30-40% of your car’s actual value that way. It’s the same with CarMax. Sure, it’s easy – but do you really want to lose 60-70% of its value?!
What you may not know is it’s just as effortless to donate a vehicle in North San Diego County! That’s right – at Riteway Car Donations we handle everything for you, all the details, so it literally is the same as handing over the keys at the dealer.
And don’t forget where your heart is – there are so many causes you care about. We get so busy with Girl Scout Cookie sales and the wrapping paper/candy bars/car washes the kids are always doing for school and sports. Imagine how much your car can help someone!
Is education a huge priority to you and your family? The value of your car can benefit the North Council PTA organization or your alma mater. Do you support the San Diego Food Bank?
Whoever you’d like to support – simply let us know.
Are you thinking, “I don’t know how to donate a car in North San Diego County”?
It’s easy – we’ve really streamlined the process at Riteway Car Donations. Our experts are standing by, so when you make a quick call to 888-250-4490 or when you donate through our website, we can help you right away.
To donate an automobile – still running or not – it only requires that first step, really. We take it from there. Even 24-hour pick-up service is available in most cases. Our towing professionals go to wherever your vehicle is located. Then our technicians go to work, assessing your auto donation to make necessary repairs so your vehicle’s value is maximized.
It’s one of the biggest advantages to donating through Riteway Car Donations. Some of the car charity programs you may have heard about require you to get your vehicle to them onsite. But we come to you.
Not only that, we finish the DMV paperwork for you. Now, that’s service!
A report by the United States General Accounting Office to the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Finance estimated that tax deductions from vehicle donations were claimed on about 733,000 tax returns, which lowered taxpayers’ tax liability by approximately $654 million.
You’ve always had a head for investments. This is another tax lowering tactic that does some good for others at the same time. Other than the choice to clean out closets to drop off your discards at the Salvation Army, it’s an easy way to put money into your favorite charity.
We’ve found that the value of auto donations typically go up about 25-50% after the changes we make to donation vehicles. We get reimbursed by the non-profit for towing plus a standard service fee, and then they receive proceeds from the sale and you get your tax break.
If you use a CPA, you can check out a website offering opinions from tax professionals about their clients who donate a vehicle to charity.
We follow everything required by the IRS when you donate a vehicle for a tax deduction in California. We sell your car, then we report the final price to you and your charity. You both receive IRS Form 1098-C within 30 days of the sale, so you get the tax deduction for the total.
