31rx7 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Son is selling his car as he has another ride. 1999 Taurus runs great and drives great. Fully loaded with leather, power everything, sunroof, etc. Tires very good, new rear brakes, front brakes good, etc. 168,000 or so miles. * He has driven it to Chicago and back with no problems. A/C does not work at the moment - have never really checked to see if it needs a charge or something else. *Some idiosyncrasies: Passenger rear power window does not work, power locks have sort of a mind of their own. windshield washer hose needs replaced, "low coolant" light on due to bad sensor, minor rust near rear wheel well where they tend to rust, maybe a couple other items. * The only significant thing is that when hot, the transmission tends to not want to downshift to first when you come to a stop. *Once you ease on the gas or manually shift, it is fine. *It has been doing that since we got it, so I am not overly concerned. I did change the transmission fluid and filter during the summer to see if it would help, but it did not. The fluid and pan both looked good - no shavings or grit in it. Short story: it is a solid around town car, and would make a great beater / winter car.

mustangman2011 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) If you donate it do you really get that much off your taxes? Edited March 31, 2012 by mustangman2011 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31rx7 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 If you donate it do you really get that much off your taxes? Admittedly I need to research this more, but my understanding is that it is considered a charitable donation and if done in a certain manner, you can claim market value for the deduction amount. This reduces your taxes at whatever incremental tax rate you are at. Hoever, there are considerations for doing this, and that's what I need to research.
