Understanding the used EV tax credit

Buying a second-hand Tesla, particularly a 2019 model, is a smart investment for those looking to join the electric vehicle revolution. One of the benefits that new electric vehicle buyers enjoy is a host of incentives, like the Used EV Tax Credit. Until recently, this financial perk was not extended to used electric vehicle buyers, especially those purchasing through private party vehicle sales. However, thanks to Caramel's unique approach, that's all changed.

So, if you've got your eye on a 2019 Tesla Model 3 from a private seller, you might wonder about your tax credit eligibility. The good news is with Caramel, you have the opportunity to take advantage of electric vehicle incentives that previously were not accessible in private transactions. Here's how it works.

How Caramel transforms your private purchase

Typically, if you buy a vehicle directly from a private seller, you miss out on various incentives, including the Used EV Tax Credit. But Caramel operates as a licensed dealer, bridging the gap between private sellers and dealership benefits. When you find your desired Tesla Model 3, Caramel steps in to purchase the vehicle from the seller. Immediately after, we sell it to you. With this structure, your purchase is redefined, making your 2019 Model no longer a simple private party sale but a dealer facilitated one, bringing all the benefits that come with it.

Maximize your savings with the used EV tax credit

Saving money always feels good, especially when it's as simple as purchasing your favorite electric vehicle. With Caramel, the Used EV Tax Credit equates to 30% off the sale price of your second-hand Tesla, up to a sweet $4,000. The best part? You can choose to receive this credit upfront at the time of purchase, reducing the immediate financial burden, or as a credit on your end-of-year taxes, making your wise investment even wiser.

Eligibility criteria for the used EV tax credit

To be clear, not every electric vehicle purchase will qualify for this credit. However, private party buyers of used 2019 Tesla Model 3s are in luck. When you complete your transaction through Caramel, and your vehicle and personal tax situations meet the necessary criteria, you can look forward to that tax break. Here's a quick checklist to keep in mind:

  • The vehicle must be an electric vehicle, like the Tesla Model 3.
  • Your 2019 model must meet specific standards and be eligible for the credit.
  • As the buyer, your tax situation must allow for such incentives.

Don't worry about the complexities—Caramel handles the details to ensure you get the tax credit you deserve when applicable.

Buying a vehicle isn't just about the initial transaction. There's a lot to consider—financing, payment, DMV paperwork, title transfer, and registration, not to mention the actual delivery of your new Tesla Model 3.
