Living near a small rural town, I have only one choice for shopping for car parts locally. The rear muffler on the 88 VW Fox is leaking terribly. So, I thought I would inquire about cost and availability. I was being curious. The salesman/parts vendor said they no longer sell mufflers including ordering same for customers. His "reason" was the newer cars seldom have muffler failures. Is this valid or bs?
Regarding my defective muffler, I still have a lifetime warranty at Midas. I called them, no problem, just bring it in they said.
