Navigating the used EV tax credit with a 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring

Private party vehicle purchases have historically been straightforward: find a car, agree on a price, and handle the paperwork. But, when it comes to buying a pre-owned plug-in hybrid, such as the 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring, things get a little more complex, especially if you're looking to take advantage of tax incentives like the Used EV Tax Credit. Here's where the game changes, thanks to Caramel's innovative approach to streamlining car transactions.

Understanding the Used EV Tax Credit

For those in the market for a second-hand electric vehicle, benefits like the Used EV Tax Credit are incredibly appealing. This credit allows for a deduction on your taxes for a percentage of the vehicle's cost. The IRS qualifications for this credit include a Battery Capacity Requirement, which the 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring meets as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). Typically, to apply for this credit, the purchase would need to be made through a licensed dealer, not a private party sale.

That's where Caramel offers a unique advantage. While most private party vehicle purchases don't qualify for the Used EV Tax Credit, Caramel operates as a licensed dealer. This means that even though your 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring is being bought directly from the previous owner, Caramel’s participation changes the nature of the transaction.

The Caramel difference in private party purchases

When you find a 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring through a private sale and use Caramel to finalize the purchase, you're effectively buying the vehicle from Caramel, not the original owner. This makes your purchase eligible for the Used EV Tax Credit. We purchase the vehicle from the seller and then sell it to you, allowing you to benefit from the tax credit as though you were buying from a dealer, with the eligibility for 30% off the sale price, up to $4,000. This can translate to significant savings upfront at the time of purchase or as a credit on your end-of-year taxes.

Seamless transition from seller to buyer

With Caramel, the entire process is facilitated to ensure ease and safety. You no longer have to worry about DMV paperwork, secure payment, title transfer and registration, or verification—Caramel handles all of that. This simplification extends to the complexities of car financing, payment, and delivery, which can often deter potential buyers from pursuing private party vehicle purchases.

Fulfilling plug-in hybrid eligibility for tax incentives

The 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring meets all the requirements for plug-in hybrid eligibility under the tax incentive program. It's a vehicle with excellent battery capacity, ensuring both efficient performance and qualification for the Used EV Tax Credit. Nonetheless, this incentive is generally inaccessible for private party purchases without the involvement of a company like Caramel.

The comprehensive offerings of Caramel

Taking advantage of pre-owned PHEV tax incentives doesn't have to be a hassle. Caramel's comprehensive offerings extend beyond just facilitating a purchase to qualify for tax credits. Buyers have the option to add vehicle protection, digital inspection, finance, insurance, and transport services, making the entire process a one-stop-shop experience.

Maximize the benefits of a pre-owned PHEV

Securing a 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring through a private party and using Caramel's service can offer you a myriad of benefits. Not only do you meet the IRS qualifications for the Used EV Tax Credit, but you also gain a reliable, efficient, and luxurious vehicle while enjoying a simplified, secure transaction. The up to $4,000 in credit is a significant financial perk that makes the already desirable 2021 Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring an even more valuable investment.

Caramel's role in used electric vehicle transactions

When you're looking for second-hand electric vehicle benefits, remember that Caramel is redefining the process for private party car purchases. Our role as a licensed dealer in the transaction opens up opportunities that are typically exclusive to traditional dealership purchases, including the ability to claim the Used EV Tax Credit. With Caramel, you get to participate in a private party purchase while still receiving the advantages—and savings—that come with buying from a dealer.
