Buying a pre-owned electric vehicle like the 2020 Volvo S60 not only aligns with more sustainable living practices but also provides the opportunity for considerable cost savings. Due to the nature of vehicle ownership and sales, however, tapping into these savings through incentives like the used EV tax credit hasn't always been straightforward. But Caramel changes that, smoothing out the complexities and opening up doors to benefits that were previously hard to come by in private party vehicle transactions. Understanding the used EV tax credit The excitement around electric vehicles isn't just about innovation and environmental stewardship—it's also financially savvy given the potential tax credits. The used EV tax credit is a provision that allows buyers of pre-owned electric vehicles to receive a tax credit from the government. To clarify, the IRS outlines specific criteria for vehicles and buyers to qualify for this incentive. Challenges in private party purchase and the Caramel solution Typically, buying a car from a private seller seems like a straightforward affair, but it does have its challenges with financing, payment, and delivery, not to mention the necessary DMV paperwork. When it comes to electric vehicle incentives, a private party purchase usually doesn't qualify for the used EV tax credit. However, when you process your purchase of a 2020 Volvo S60 through Caramel, these hurdles not only become non-issues, but you also unlock access to the used EV tax credit. So how does Caramel do it? We operate as a licensed dealer, which means that while you found your 2020 Volvo S60 privately, when it comes to the sale, we step in to ensure everything is handled with the utmost care and legality. Consequently, your transaction switches from a private sale to a dealership sale—without the typical dealership hassle. This subtle change is significant: it allows your purchase to qualify for the used EV tax credit.
