Why should I donate my car in Irvine?

Do you commute to L.A. and see your car’s mileage moving up into the 6-digit range? If its age means knobs are falling off and it’s constantly at the dealer getting fixed, it may add weight to the idea that it’s time for a new car. You can offset the expense of the purchase with an additional write-off through a vehicle donation in Irvine.

Are you a big believer in environmental causes? You’ve probably seen the Tesla, which holds a charge 2 or 3 times as long as some of the other electric cars. Have you seen all the charging stations in Irvine?

If you decide to replace what you’re driving and you typically do a dealer trade-in, we have some incentives that may change your mind. When you make a car or truck donation in Irvine you are letting your vehicle’s value brighten someone’s day. 

For a trade-in, you only get a part of your vehicle’s value, as you probably know. They need to put it on the lot later and they have to make a profit, of course.

Research shows even more evidence that you lose money that way. Students at USC’s business school did a study concluding that buyers who bring trade-ins to the dealer don’t get very good deals. Salespeople tend to assume that if you’re doing a trade-in you don’t care about money, so they raise the price of the new car.  

But when you make a car charity donation in Irvine through Cars2Charities, your deduction is based on 100% of your car’s sale price.
