Chandler, Arizona J.D. Byrider Sponsors Community Santa House

Chandler, Arizona’s J.D. Byrider franchise has partnered with the Lion’s Club for the seventh year in a row to sponsor Santa’s House in Downtown Chandler. The Santa House provides a place for people in the community to meet Santa and have pictures taken with him for free. Santa’s House is one of the many activities surrounding the community’s festivities for the holidays which will begin on December 6, 2008. Activities include the lighting of Chandler’s 52nd Tumbleweed tree, the parade of lights, and more.

Santa’s House is a great way for our Chandler J.D Byrider used car dealerership to give back to the community. They also partner with the Lion’s Club during the Summer to sponsor a camp for disabled youth.

Waiting for a tax refund to buy a used car?

You won’t be filing your 2008 taxes for at least a month and a half. However, if you need to buy a used car now and are due for a tax refund, J.D. Byrider may be able to help.

We have a program that helps eligible customers get behind the wheels of affordable used cars now using a projected tax refund. Just bring your pay stub to your local J.D. Byrider dealer. If you meet our qualifications for the program, we’ll calculate an estimated refund and arrange financing a used car based in part on your projected refund amount.

The advantage to you is that you can get the car you need today – before you file taxes or receive a refund. Applying your refund can allow you to make a larger down payment on an affordable used car, which generally lowers the amount you finance. That in turn can lower your monthly payment, shorten the timeframe for making payments or get you into a newer vehicle than you could not have otherwise purchased.

To find the J.D. Byrider dealer closest to you, visit jdbyrider.com. We specialize in good cars for people who need credit. Let us help you by financing a used car today!

Car Expenses and your taxes

When people think of cars and finances, they generally see their vehicle as an expense item. However, if you use your car for business purposes, you may be able to get a break on your taxes by claiming car costs.

Here’s how it works: If you use your car only for business purposes, you may be able to deduct the entire amount of eligible operating expenses. The majority of us don’t use our vehicles solely for business purposes. However, if you use your car for business purposes even part of the time, you may be able to deduct the expenses on your taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service outlines two methods to claim auto expenses: the standard mileage rate and actual expense rate. The most advantageous method for you will depend on your individual circumstances.

The mileage rate changes periodically and can be found on the IRS website.  Here are some of the types of expenses you can claim if you use the actual expense method:

• Gas
• Oil
• Auto repair service
• Tires
• Insurance
• Registration fees and licenses
• Depreciation attributable to business use

Check out the IRS website for more information on auto-related tax deductions or consult a qualified tax advisor of your choosing. Remember, your eligibility for expenses depends on your circumstances. However, if you use your car for business at any time, it’s well worth your while to explore the possibility of claiming eligible expenses.
