Can you buy a beater junk car for cheap and then donate it for tax reaps?

Can you buy a few hundred dollers junk car and then donate it? Is it considered fraud or legit?

My brother donated his old beat up Senta and got $4k off his tax returns. It gave me a though.

sounds like FRAUD to me

If you donate a car for tax write-off purposes, do it before January 1, 2005.

You should get that checked out. Could be serious.
