How to Donate Your Vehicle to Charity

When it comes to helping your community, making donations to charities is certainly a worthwhile and time-honored tradition. One of the most interesting ways you can help out charities is by donating your vehicle. If you have an older vehicle that is no longer useful to you and can be donated, the result will not only help out the charity, but you can also use the transaction as a tax deduction.

However, there are some speed bumps throughout the donation process, so you will want to be fully informed about what to expect before you donate your vehicle.

The Donation Process

Charities will either put the vehicle you donate to use or sell it to raise money. Be aware that if they sell the vehicle, then your tax deduction will be based on how much the vehicle goes for at the auction which may be far lower than its fair market value.

Value: If the vehicle you donate is worth more than $500, then you’ll need to fill out IRS Form 8283 Section A. This must be filled out with a written acknowledgement from the charity itself that stipulates whether the car was sold and for what price or if it is being used by the charity itself. If the value is $5,000 or more, you’ll need to have it appraised and you’ll need to fill out Section B of IRS form 8283.

Receipt: You will need to get an official receipt from the charity in order to verify your tax donation. This is important because this type of donation is one that often triggers an IRS audit, so you’ll want your tax records at the ready.

Remember that if the charity handles the entire transaction, you can drive the vehicle there yourself so that they do not have to pay towing charges.

How to Find the Right Charity

You should always check out charities that accept car donations and if it is eligible to accept tax deductible contributions as well. At that point, you can then do a little more research to see if they are the right ones for you.  

Transaction: If the charity handles the transaction of the sale itself, then it should keep virtually 100% of the sale. However, if there is an intermediary organization, then they can keep upwards of 50% or more which means that your donation may only be a fraction of the full market value of the vehicle itself.

Percentage of Proceeds: Arguably the most important question is how much of the proceeds from the sale or auction actually goes to the cause they are supporting. It should be a relatively high percentage otherwise most of the money will simply sink into the coffers of the charity itself.

Reputation: You should check out all charities to see if they follow all the rules and have earned a good reputation in terms of applying most, if not mostly all the money raised to their particular cause.

To find the best charity not only protects you, but it also ensures that the most amount of money raised by the auction or sale goes to the cause you wish to support.

The Takata Airbag Recall - How It May Effect You

     Recently, more than 30 million vehicles made by 10 different manufacturers were recalled into production because an airbag problem was discovered. The airbags were created by the Takata Company, and they were installed between 2002 and 2008 on a variety of vehicles, with some models extending up to 2014. It seems that some of the Takata Airbag models had issues that lead to injuries or other similar problems, mostly due to an explosion.

What causes the Takata Airbag recall?

     This recall is indeed a major issue, in fact it’s the largest recall in the history of the automobile industry, and it’s all caused by a problem in the airbag infiltrator. Simply put, each of the Takata Airbag models that have been recalled includes a metal cartridge that, at its own turn, is loaded with a few propellant wafers. This is what leads to the creation of the explosive force, and the problem seems to be appearing during a crash, when the metal shards included in the Takata Airbags are sprayed throughout the cabin causing numerous injuries or even worse than that.

After a long investigation, it seems that there are multiple causes that lead to the issue, such as the exposure to humidity or high heat, a poor quality control and the bad design of the car which does lead to these problems. All of these have created a lot of pressure for the car body and, as such, the shards are spread in a very destructive, unnatural manner.

How to see if your car is affected?

     

     If you want to see if your model is recalled, then all you have to do is to visit https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ as here you can find a list with all of those cars that need to get back to the manufacturer in order to remove this major issue.

A few of the manufacturers that seem to have trouble with this issue include Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Subaru and General Motors, among many others. Even Ford seems to have recalled no less than 477000 cars, something that’s unseen for the manufacturer.

How long does this take?

     Unfortunately, the process is indeed taking a lot of time, with Takata saying that they will replace 1 million kits per month. Since more than 30 million cars were affected, one can imagine that this will take quite a while. The first batches are already sent, with others being available shortly.

How are the repairs prioritized?

     The manufacturers are sending the first batches specifically to the humid areas first, as this is where most of the problems can be encountered. You are bound to obtain your own airbag very soon, depending on where you live, but you will need to contact the car manufacturer first.

In the meantime, all you can do is to take preventive measures until you obtain the replacement. Minimize your driving or, if you want to leave your car at home to stay safe, rent a car or utilize public transportation. Wait until the manufacturer will contact you and, depending on your location and other properties you might be able to get your car up and running sooner rather than later. Sure, the Takata Airbag recall does affect many vehicles, but on the other hand the company is working hard to provide replacements for everyone, even if the whole replacement process might take a while!

Review of 2016 Cаdіllас CTS-V

Thе CTS-V hаѕ always bееn seen as a kіnd оf four-door Chеvу Cоrvеttе. The nеw CTS-V ties thе Vеttе соnnесtіоn еvеn tighter wіth an еngіnе lіftеd from thе bаllіѕtіс Cоrvеttе Z06. Thе еngіnе іѕ ѕо slightly аltеrеd fоr Cаdіllас,thаt the company соuld hаvе саllеd thіѕ car the CTS-V06. The V’ѕ tор ѕрееd now stands tо bе еvеn mоrе іmрrеѕѕіvе.

Thе CTS-V іѕ one car with оnе ѕuѕреnѕіоn. There аrе nо uрgrаdеѕ, nо орtіоnаl bіg wheels, аnd nо add-on саrbоn-сеrаmіс brаkеѕ.

Texting While Driving: Is it Dangerous?

If you are in the habit of texting while driving, it is just a matter of time before it catches up on you, and the consequences can be quite devastating.

Over 61% of the US population owns a smartphone. Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, it’s hard to imagine being without them. However, indiscriminate use of smartphones pose significant safety risks, especially if one chooses to make phone calls, or worse, check his or her text messages or apps while driving.

One startling fact is that at any time of the day, 660,000 drivers in the country use their phone in one way or another while still driving a vehicle. Smartphones help us stay connected all the time – but at what cost?

Let’s have a look at some of the stats that should make you reconsider using your phone while driving:

ü According to the National Safety Council cell phone use while driving leads to 1.6 million crashes a year.

ü As many as 330,000 injuries happen each year because of accidents caused by people texting on their phone while driving.

ü You are 6 times more likely to be in an accident because of texting and driving than due to driving drunk.

ü 25% of the car accidents in the US are caused by texting and driving.

ü When you answer a text, that takes up 5 seconds of your time. 5 seconds when travelling at 55 mph would be enough to cover the distance of a football field.

ü When you text and drive, you are 400% times more likely to spend time with eyes off the road.

ü Texting and driving is the most dangerous activity related to the mobile phone, by far.

Teens are the worst offenders when it comes to texting and driving. Here are some pertinent Teen Driver Cell Phone Statistics:

ü Teen drivers are four times as likely to be involved in an automobile accident as adults while using a cell phone.

ü 11 teens are killed every day because of texting while driving.

ü 94% of teen drivers are aware of the dangers of texting and driving, but 35% do it anyway.

ü Cell phones have been blamed for 21% of the fatal accidents involving teen drivers.

According to the 2012 National Survey on Distracted Driving Attitudes and Behaviors:

ü 48 percent of drivers answer calls on their cell phones while driving. Of those who did, 58% continued to drive even as they spoke on the phone.

ü 24 percent said they were okay with making a call while driving.

ü 10 percent said they sent text messages or emails while driving and 14% admitted to reading text messages or emails while driving as well.

According to the 2012 U.S. Cell Phone and Driving Statistics

ü 3,328 people in the United States were killed in accidents related to distractions in 2012.

ü 421,000 people in the United States were injured in accidents that involved a distracted driver in 2012

ü Of the drivers under the age of 20, 11% were involved in fatal car accidents because of being distracted at the time of the crash.

ü 25 percent of teens in America text at least once every time they drive, and 20 percent admit to sending multiple texts while driving. 10 percent of parents admit to do the same as well.  

If you text and drive, hopefully the facts listed here will make you stop doing such a dangerous action. If there is someone you know who texts and drives; be sure to share this article to them as well.

What a Car Made by Apple Could Mean to the Auto World

Apple products are all about the joy of engineering.  Since that day in the early 80s when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak set up a phone line that allowed them to make a free phone call to the Vatican, the makers and discoverers and inventors at Apple have been creating usable products that have changed the way the modern world thinks & works.  It is in large part because of Apple that handheld devices can store as much music as a bookshelf full of CDs and can help you find the address and phone number of any place you want to go, no matter where you are.

Think of how the iPhone changed phones, and now imagine how a car made by Apple could change the auto world.  No one loved phones before the iPhone debuted, but people definitely loved their cars.  Cars represent the freedom of the open road, and getting a driver’s license and borrowing your parents’ car for the first time was an important rite of passage for generations of Americans.  Perhaps you enjoy checking and refilling your car’s fluids before a road trip, and you might even know someone who has lovingly restored an old car.  There is probably a make of car that you encourage people to buy, and perhaps an expensive car of your dreams that you will buy if you can ever afford it.

A car designed by Apple will certainly be efficient and elegant.  Its computer system will run smoothly and have few to no glitches.  Although it will be high-tech, it will not rely on gimmicks; it will build on the touch-screen and voice-activated technology that have made other Apple products so successful.  If it is an electric car, it will be the most affordable one yet.

Another trend in Apple’s history is reviving ideas that seemed like lost causes and bringing things back from the brink.  Cars do not occupy the esteemed place in American culture that they once did.  They have gained the reputation as gas guzzlers that pollute the air, deplete the ozone layer, and consume petroleum, a non-renewable resource.  Apple’s engineers are experts at figuring out what are the enduring parts of struggling industries; they do not follow new trends.  A car made by Apple would retain the feature of efficient travel, but it would be easier to drive and park than existing cars.  Its focus would be on simple elegance and efficiency.

Everything You Need To Know About The Tesla Model X

THE TESLA MODEL X

The Tesla Model X will be introduced as a prototype crossover. It is the third electric model to be released by Tesla after the Model S sedan and the 2 door Roadsters. The Model X will accommodate up to seven passengers and promises to be more family friendly and functional than the Model S. The soon to be revealed crossover has recently undergone test runs in the streets of LA. And as far as looks go, the Model X inherits the cabin and upswing falcon winged door concept which gives a beautiful and sporty look to car. Many would say that this is the next step forward in electric car technology and engineering.

MODEL X FEATURES:

The Tesla Model X is more likely a Model S that has been extended vertically. Its headlights, grille, general contours and taillights are identical to the sedans’, with a central weight that is lower than the average SUV, you will notice its’ beautiful reflexes at every turn. It is even loaded with all their gears.  However, the Model X offers key differences such as forward facing third row seats and a set of rear falcon wing doors which make the car appear even more radical. Tesla requires this pair of upward swinging doors to provide optimal comfort to passengers stepping in and out of the second and third row seats. The setup is mostly artifice. The Model X is family demand: extremely durable, they are ready to hamper with the loading of children. It is soon to be the most sporty family vehicle on the market, and capable of conveniently and comfortably seating seven passengers. The company has also replaced the side mirrors with video cameras that look fabulous. The Model X is the greenest and most efficient SUV to transport your friends or family.

AN ELECTRIC CROSSOVER:

As similar as the Model X is to the S, the Model X is more than skin deep. The Model X may be furnished with crossover fundamental all wheel drive. Its standard drive structure mirrors that of S, but with an additional front mounted motor power axle on the all-wheel drive models, with rear mounted and single electric motor driving the rear wheels. With the all-wheel drive system, the X Model can catch traction and difference between the two axles and power apportions. Same as the Model S, Model X is giving sporty performance. Not to mention it’s able to  hit 60 mile per hour in less than five seconds.

Model X buyers now will be able to select between two battery capacities. One is of 85-k WH unit and the other is of 60k WH pack. It is the safer and secure car to drive and less aerodynamic than the Model S.

PRICE OF TESLA MODEL X:

The price of Model X has not yet been officially announced. The Tesla chief executive officer recently stated in his interview that the company is planning to put the Model X on sale in July. More than 20,000 people have invested a $5000 deposit for this new car.

7 Steps To Buying A New Or Used Car

If you are reading this you are obviously thinking of buying a new car, and are not quite sure of what to prepare for. Things like what kind of paperwork you would need, or what exact specifications you want. Here are the seven most important steps you should follow before signing anything.

 

1.   Do ample research.

If you are not sure about the color, the model, the payments or simply the type of car that would suit you, read some reviews from experts, make detailed search, or consult someone that has knowledge of mechanics and anything that goes in the package. Expand your horizons, be sure to keep an open mind for everything.

2.  Do some calculations, and figure out how much you can afford.

Often, when you buy a new car you can negotiate the price. However, before you go out and buy it, make sure that you have enough money. Secure yourself financially with a loan from a bank so you get more power in the negotiations. If you do that, you will have extra money for the taxes and fees, which usually come with the purchase.

3.  Understand all the expenses that will come with the new car

So, let’s say that you have chosen what kind of car you want to buy. Now, the next thing you should do is to check how much money for gas will you need per month or week (take note that there are cars that use much more than others), also check how much will the basic repairs cost (for example oil change, broken headlights, repainting, or even interior design changes like car seats etc..), check how much will and insurance will cost you, and also, the most important- maintenance.

4.   Know what you can get with your money

There are many different car types and models, and yet they cost almost the same. Check out all the possible options when you research, find out what kind of specifications the car has to offer, and compare between vehicles. You want to be sure to the best for your money. Ask the car salesman, because that is their job, to explain what you get in each package. Do not be wooed our convinced merely by external design. Often, many cars that seem perfect from the outside, but have lousy interior, spend way too much gas, and they are not that fast.

5.   Take it on a test drive

Before you sign anything, take the car you have chosen, or the one you like out on a long drive. Right there, behind the wheel you can feel if the car is for you or not. Make it long, not some ten minute drive, because buying a car is a big deal, and you don’t just buy stuff like that every week. Make sure that you feel comfortable in it, and that you are not rushing into such big decision.

66.   Read the terms and conditions twice before signing

Sometimes, in a rush, you sign anything that is handed to you without reading. If possible take the papers at home and study them thorough. Often, in those contracts there are lines that are written in smaller letters saying that something is wrong or missing in the product for example some kind of scratch, something in the warranty, or some kind of bug in the alarm system. Read everything carefully, and then proceed with signing the contract.

7.   Take delivery of your car

As much as you are excited about your new car, take a ride before taking it home with the salesman. That person is trained to show you how everything works, and also gives you tips about the maintenance, or simply about the inside technology like GPS, Bluetooth etc..

 And last, and most important: Enjoy your new ride.

How To Sell Your Car [Get The Most Out Of Your Car Sale]

     Are you planning to sell your car?

Well, there are many things to consider in order to prepare your vehicle before you sell it and ensure that you will get more responses to your advertisements and a high amount of exposure to potential car buyers. As with most things in life, you will never get an opportunity for a second chance at making a first impression, so you must do everything that you can in order to impress your buyers when presenting your car.

     When it comes to mechanical matters, you should be sure that everything is in good condition before you sell it since your potential buyer will surely call you out if there are signs of damage to your car. Aside from that, you must also be proficient in selling your car. A good talk and persuasive speech to your potential buyer can guarantee that your car will be purchased at a high price. So, if you really want to sell your car at its’ highest price, visit a mechanic for some checking and fixing. It is much better to find out earlier if your car has any severe defects in order to repair it. Visit www.gAuto.com to book an appointment with an auto specialist today! They come straight to your door at your convenience and do all the pre-inspecting and mechanical work on site!

     Lastly, the cleanliness of your car is the most important aspect to be considered. Washing your car quickly before presentation is not enough. Many car buyers are heavily influenced by the first sight/impression of the vehicle. You must perform an interior and exterior detail in order for your car to look brand new for your potential buyer and get the absolute most that you can out of your individual sale.

     Listed below are some procedures that you can follow to clean your car. Here as follows:

•      Begin to remove all unnecessary things in your car. You have to ensure that you leave your car empty.
