FACT SHEET: AUTO SALES AND EXCISE TAX DEDUCTION

President Obama signed “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009” into law on February 17, 2009. The law includes a new consumer tax deduction for State and local sales and excise taxes paid to purchase a motor vehicle during 2009.

  • Provides consumers a new tax deduction on their 2009 Federal income taxes for “qualified motor vehicle taxes.”
  • Qualified motor vehicle taxes include any State or local sales or excise tax imposed on the purchase of a qualified motor vehicle.
  • Qualified motor vehicles include passenger automobiles or light trucks with a weight rating of not more than 8,500 pounds.
  • Applies to NEW vehicles only.
  • Deduction allowed for non-itemizers.
  • Limitation on Vehicle Price: limited to the tax on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of a qualified motor vehicle.
  • Income Limitation: Phased out for taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income between $125,000 and $135,000 ($250,000 and $260,000 in the case of a joint return).
  • Effective Date: Purchases on or after February 17, 2009, and before January 1, 2010.

Customers with questions related to their particular tax situation should be advised to consult with a financial adviser.

2010 Accord Crostour in stock now

November 19, 2009 crownmotors Leave a comment

We just got our first Accord Crosstour in yesterday EX-L 4×4 in Silver check it out today.   

 

 

Crossovers are all the rage these days, meaning vehicles somewhere between the practicality of a station wagon and the taller, tougher all Wheel Drive aspects of a sport utility vehicle. They take many forms, and wear an increasing diversity of styles.

Now Honda’s gotten into the game, applying the hallowed Accord model name to what it calls an “active grand tourer,” the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour. It’s the first-ever Accord with all-wheel-drive.

The Crosstour expands lots of typical Honda virtues–pleasant driving, tight handling, useful features, and pretty good gas mileage for its size–into a new category, giving Accord owners a more flexible and capable vehicle to move up to.

The 2010 Honda  Accord Crosstour comes with a single engine and transmission, just two models, and optional all-wheel-drive. The pricing is competitive, and we think it should do well.

2010 Ford Transit Connect

2010 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van XLT Minivan Shown

 

“This workhorse is like nothing available today in the American market,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford  group vice president of Global Product Development. That’s not just PR spin.

 The smaller of two versions of the van sold in Europe, Transit Connect is specifically designed for tight, urban environments, where space is at a premium and fuel prices are high. These days, that’s beginning to look a lot more like the U.S.

Sized somewhere between the new Ford Flex and the automaker’s bigger E-Series vans, Transit Connect is initially geared for commercial applications. But in Europe, noted Kuzak, it is often converted for personal use. The same thing might happen State-side, as well.

2010 Dodge Ram 2500-3500

November 6, 2009 crownmotors Leave a comment

 

Dodge  kicked off its current truck design last January when the 2009 Dodge {{{Ram 1500}}} was revealed at the North American International Auto Show. Now the wraps have come off the biggest Rams of them all: the 2010 Dodge {{{Ram 2500}}}, 3500, 4500, and 5500 pickups and chassis cabs.

Externally, the Dodge Ram 2500 and 2500 trucks look quite similar to the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500  pickup. Much of the sheetmetal and interior content is identical to the half-ton truck, although the heavy-duty trucks receive a unique grille, hood, and bumpers. Chassis-cab models look similar from the front bumper to the end of the cab, but there isn’t a bed aft of the cab. Bare frame rails and accessible wiring harnesses allow third-party companies to install commercial bodies of all sorts.
