What is a tax credit?
In our opinion, many cars do not qualify for all car tax credits, or are only eligible if their prices start below certain car tax credits thresholds. When purchasing a vehicle, you may be eligible for a tax credit. The main reasons that you may be eligible for a tax credit have to do with the value of your vehicle compared to those tax credits. For tax credits of $3,500 or less, the vehicle must have a net worth greater than $7,500. The more your vehicle weighs, the greater the tax credit you earn. You can go online to check your vehicle’s value (which will usually look something like this: > 2,500 miles) and check out the available car tax credits. Note that not all states are equally strict in their evaluation of vehicle tax credit eligibility; some states may give you more tax credits for a smaller number of miles. Also on a motor vehicle, you may qualify for many car tax credits, depending on the vehicle model. Car Tax Credits
