Yes, this is correct. The purchaser is the lending institution, they get the the tax credit. Taking that into account is why the "promotional" i-MiEV lease doesn't really look like all that great a deal - it's especially awful if you think you might want to keep the car. I guess it's okay if you absolutely plan to turn it in, but I was worried there wouldn't be an affordable EV I liked at that point - I'm not convinced the EV is well and truly resurrected just yet, which is part of the reason that I bought now .MitsuJoe said:My dealer told me the $7500 available tax credit not available to Lease. Can anyone confirm.
Yes, I understand that. But it's now 2013 and if you buy the car this year, will the credit still be there for you when you file your 2013 taxes a year from now?BillThompsonMIEV said:Yes, it is available when you file your 2012 tax return.
