Why Donate Your Vehicle to the Parkinson’s Disease Association of San Diego?

The biggest problem most people face when purchasing a new car is what to do with the old one?  You can trade it in, which usually means you get less than its full value.  Or, you can try to sell it yourself, which means dealing with a lot of inconvenience.  Many people are simply not in a position to repair vehicles themselves.  In addition to having to pay for repairs, you also have to complete the DMV paperwork and, in some states, have to get a smog inspection.  And then there's all the time and effort in trying to sell it: advertising in the paper, waiting for potential buyers to call, setting up appointments to see the vehicle, and haggling with them over the price.  However, there is a better option...

Donating your car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, RVs, boat, airplane, go-cart, scooter, Moped, golf cart, dune-buggy, forklift, trailer, snow mobile, and used parts to the Parkinson’s Disease Association of San Diego makes you feel great about helping PDASD improve the quality of life for individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s.

Aside from the great feeling you get when you donate your vehicle, you will receive a substantial tax deduction for the full sales value of your vehicle.  In addition, CARS will also provide you with all the documentation your tax preparer needs so you receive the maximum tax deduction.  For exact figures on how much your tax deduction will be you should contact your tax preparer.
