Understanding the benefits of owning an alternative fuel vehicle, like a Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid, goes beyond just the reduced environmental footprint and fuel savings. If you're considering a private party vehicle purchase for a used 2021 model of this eco-conscious SUV, there’s an added financial perk that might not be on your radar yet: the used EV tax credit. The used EV tax credit is an incentive that the IRS offers to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. When you think of traditional private party vehicle purchases, it's important to note that they typically don't allow for such incentives. But here's the good news – Caramel's unique approach changes that, ensuring that buyers like you can take advantage of the 2021 PHEV incentives, sweetening the deal on your eco-friendly investment. So, how exactly does this work? It's fairly straightforward with Caramel. Even though you've found your Subaru through a private sale, when you use Caramel to finalize the purchase, we step in as a licensed dealer. By doing so, your transaction morphs from a standard private party sale to a dealership sale. Why does this matter? Because this slight shift opens the door to the used EV tax credit, which previously was out of reach for private buyers. The used EV tax credit is worth 30% off the sale price of the vehicle, capping at $4,000. For those looking to get into a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid, this incentive can make a significant difference in affordability. Whether you opt to receive the credit upfront at the time of purchase or apply it to your end-of-year taxes, the benefit is tangible and immediate. What's required to qualify? Well, the IRS qualifications for the used EV tax credit are specific. The vehicle must be an alternative fuel vehicle, which the Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid certainly is, amongst other requirements. However, you don't have to stress about the details. Caramel's comprehensive service streamlines this process. Our team handles the DMV paperwork, ensuring all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed for your tax credit eligibility. Now let's consider the typical challenges faced during a private party vehicle purchase. Financing a used vehicle, navigating secure payment options, and managing the delivery can often dampen the excitement of buying a car. With Caramel, these complexities are navigated for you. Our platform facilitates financing options tailored to your needs, secures your payment to ensure safety and confidence in the transaction, and can even coordinate transport of your newly purchased Subaru Crosstrek Plug-In Hybrid.
