You never know what can happen.
Never offer to Donate your car unless you are doing it for moral purposes. Before 2005 The IRS was writing out deductions like nothing. Until they realize that they where losing Millions in revenue. Nowadays, to receive a deduction on a vehicle donation the value must exceed, but not including, $5,000. What does this mean? If you donate your car and they give you $5001.00, then your deduction is only $1.00. You are batter off taking it to a salvage yard and getting $50 bucks for it.
Car covers become an extremely essential accessory, if one’s car is an antique. With such cars, covering the various parts of the car is as important as covering the car itself.
The answer is simple. There have been so many types of cars over the years and most of them have not stayed in production or for that matter changed very much for the time they were being made. Auto parts stores only have to focus on a few model years and before long thee car is discontinued and the ones that were made die out and are junked never to need auto parts again. This is not so for the VW. The ones that were made thirty years ago are still on the road and going well. The VW lovers I know keep the old ones forever and just keep adding newer ones to the family. As the older ones get worn out for use they are in need of specifically VW auto parts.
