*CONFIRMED* You *don't* get a tax credit this year for 30% of the purchase price of any new car bought in 2002.

[Edit] Changed $ to %

[Edit] Confirming sure is fun

 

[vi edit]

$ or % ?

And yeh, I would like to hear some more info on this as it was alluded to in another thread.

Heh heh. Oops

 

[ThaGrandCow]

What is this? I might be buying a new car this year then

 

[compuwiz1]

Doh! I bought it last year.

 

[b0mbrman]

Someone said this in another thread...I've heard nothing about it before or since...

 

[bozo1]

bogus

 

[ThaGrandCow]

What if you're financing it?

 

[b0mbrman]

It was said in this thread

 

[RossMAN]

We should all PM mdennison and ask him where he's getting this information from?

If it's true then I'm without a doubt buying a new Honda Accord this year.

Heh...that's what I was afraid everyone was gonna do

 

[bozo1]

If it was true EVERYONE would have heard about it and car manufacturers would be advertising it like made.

Well if it's true then he should have no problem in directing us to the info, otherwise he's gonna get a an earful.

I just did. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

 

[RossMAN]

Perhaps he means if you're self-employed you can write it off as a business expense? That's all I can think of.

 

[b0mbrman]

<< Perhaps he means if you're self-employed you can write it off as a business expense? That's all I can think of. >>


Yeah...I thought of that too...but then that wouldn't be anything new...

 

[Cyberian]

I can't say it's not true, but like Bozo1 said, doesn't everyone find it odd that no one except mdennison would have heard of something like this??

 

[RossMAN]

<< I can't say it's not true, but like Bozo1 said, doesn't everyone find it odd that no one except mdennison would have heard of something like this?? >>



I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, then again he might say something like "I saw it on a TV news program or read it in the paper" or maybe he actually has some info but we would have heard about this by now.

Ok someone sell me some "prime" real estate in Kabul quickly!

 

[b0mbrman]

<< I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high >>


Same here...but if I found it to be true, it would definitely play a *huge* part in my car-buying decisions...

 

[RossMAN]

IF (and that's a big IF) it were true, what car would you buy?

 

[b0mbrman]

<< IF (and that's a big IF) it were true, what car would you buy? >>


Well...30% would make up the difference between cars like the SE-R/Tiburon and cars like the RSX/Impreza WRX

 

[RossMAN]

An Impreza WRX would rock.

 

[b0mbrman]

<< An Impreza WRX would rock. >>


Yep...I've test-driven one...it's a whole different world power-wise from the other cars I'm looking at...

 

[MaxDSP]

<< IF (and that's a big IF) it were true, what car would you buy? >>




Lamborghini Diablo VT and a Lingenfelter Corvette thrown in for sh!ts and giggles




If this is indeed true (although I highly doubt it) Im gonna start looking at the 2dr Accords.

Ross, if youre like me you can make everything a business expense
