Understanding the used EV tax credit for a 2016 Tesla Model S
For many eco-conscious drivers, the 2016 Tesla Model S is a coveted electric vehicle (EV) known for its performance and sustainability. If you've been considering a second-hand Tesla for your next car, there's an added financial perk you should be aware of: the Used EV Tax Credit. Traditionally, this isn't something that you can benefit from when making a private party purchase. However, Caramel's unique approach to these transactions opens the door to significant savings.
When you find the perfect 2016 Tesla Model S through a private seller, Caramel steps in to streamline the entire process. Our platform operates as a licensed dealer, which subtly changes the nature of your private party transaction into a dealership sale. This seemingly small change has a substantial impact, allowing your purchase to become eligible for the Used EV Tax Credit, saving you up to $4,000.
Here's how it works: Caramel purchases the vehicle from the seller, then sells it to you, the buyer. This dealer-intermediary model fulfills IRS qualifications for the Used EV Tax Credit, which means you can get 30% off the sale price of that Tesla Model S, capped at $4,000. This incentive can either be received upfront at the time of purchase or claimed as a credit on your end-of-year taxes using IRS Form 8936.
