Understanding the used EV tax credit with your 2019 Ford Fusion Energi

If you're considering a 2019 Ford Fusion Energi—a popular plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV)—you may be intrigued by the prospect of capitalizing on electric vehicle incentives. Particularly, the used EV tax credit has caught the eye of eco-conscious buyers seeking value in the pre-owned market. However, there's often confusion around the eligibility of this incentive, especially when acquiring a vehicle from a private seller. Caramel is at the forefront of addressing this very issue.

One key benefit to buyers is that the used EV tax credit typically reserved for dealer transactions can now be applied to private party vehicle purchases. This is thanks to Caramel's unique business model, which transforms what traditionally would be a simple private sale into a dealer transaction, ensuring that the buyer qualifies for the lucrative IRS tax credits that come with purchasing an electric vehicle.

With the 2019 Ford Fusion Energi, the used EV tax credit can be quite beneficial. Here's why: as a PHEV with a sizeable battery, it meets the criteria set forth for tax credit eligibility. The IRS stipulates that the credit is applicable for PHEVs with a battery capacity that meets a certain threshold. The Fusion Energi ticks that box, making it a great choice for buyers looking to leverage the tax credit.

Turning private seller qualifications into dealership benefits

Usually, private seller qualifications do not meet the stringent requirements needed for a buyer to claim the used EV tax credit. This is because the IRS requires the sale to happen through a licensed dealership to prevent tax credit fraud and ensure proper vehicle tracking.

However, Caramel's platform delicately navigates these challenges. As you close your deal for a 2019 Ford Fusion Energi, Caramel acts as the intermediary. We purchase the vehicle from the seller and then sell it to you, the buyer. In doing so, we function as a licensed vehicle dealer, which means your purchase now becomes eligible for the used EV tax credit—a perk ordinarily out of reach for private party transactions.

Getting the most out of your 2019 PHEV purchase

When you opt for a 2019 Ford Fusion Energi through Caramel, we ensure that the process is seamless from the initial handshake to the final transaction. Not only are you able to secure a dependable and environmentally conscious vehicle, but you're also able to make the most out of the available electric vehicle incentives.

The used EV tax credit offers you 30% off the sale price of the vehicle—a significant saving that can be up to $4,000. This can be received upfront at the time of purchase, making it an immediate discount off your total cost. Alternatively, you can opt to apply this as a credit on your year-end taxes, allowing for flexibility depending on your financial strategy.

Financing, payment, and delivery: How Caramel simplifies the process

One might think that navigating the intricacies of car financing, secure payment, and vehicle delivery would be a daunting task in a private party sale. Caramel, however, proves otherwise.
