Navigating the used EV tax credit with a private party purchase

When you're in the market for a pre-owned Volvo, particularly an eco-friendly option like the 2019 Volvo S60, it's essential to consider every available advantage. One significant incentive is the Used EV Tax Credit, a financial perk that's typically off-limits to private party car buyers. Yet, with Caramel's innovative approach to vehicle transactions, you can become eligible for this benefit. Here’s how it works: Caramel operates as a licensed dealer in the process, which means your purchase of a Volvo S60 2019 through our easy-to-use platform is not strictly a private party sale anymore.

Under normal circumstances, snagging up to $4,000 off your pre-owned Volvo S60 via the Used EV Tax Credit wouldn’t be an option in a private sale. However, when you use Caramel to facilitate the deal, the dynamic changes. The process simply involves Caramel buying the vehicle from the seller and subsequently selling it to you, the buyer. This transformation in the sales process is pivotal in qualifying for the tax credit.

Understanding eligibility for the used EV tax credit

The IRS qualifications for EV credits are stringent, and for good reasons. They are in place to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and ensure that the benefits go to rightful owners. However, these rules also meant that private party vehicle purchases were previously excluded from the tax credit game.

What Caramel does is alter the nature of your interaction with the marketplace. By purchasing the vehicle from the seller and then selling it to you, Caramel's involvement turns the transaction into one that allows for electric vehicle incentives, such as the Used EV Tax Credit.

So, if you're eyeing a Volvo S60 2019 with an electric heart, rest assured that Caramel’s process meets the IRS qualifications for EV credit. It's all about ensuring that the benefits available to traditionally-purchased vehicles extend to Caramel-handled ones as well.

Securing your tax benefits upfront

Used EV Tax Credit eligibility can make a substantial difference in the effective cost of your vehicle. Typically, tax credits like these are claimed when filing end-of-year taxes. But Caramel goes a step further by allowing you to receive the 30% off the sale price upfront, rather than waiting until tax time. This immediate deduction can significantly lower the initial financial impact of your pre-owned Volvo S60 purchase.

The streamlined Caramel process

When you purchase a second-hand Volvo S60 through Caramel, you’re not just getting a vehicle—you’re getting a full-service transaction that addresses many of the challenges car buyers face.
