I wish I were a Google Employee in WV, CO or DC

Hmm

Buy a Prius Jan 1

Fed Tax Credit - $3150
Google Employee Rebate - $5000
State Tax Credit (CO or WV, maybe others - ~$3400)

DC Waives the Sales Tax on Hybrids - so figure $1800 savings (and also discounts Hybrid Registration).

So, $10K Plus off the purchase price.

Nice

Who pays the rebate, Google or Toyota? Sounds fishy.

Fuel Efficiency Vehicle Incentive Program

But in CA:
-$5000 Google Reimbursement (taxed)
-$3150 IRS
+ HOV lanes (Priceless)

Made that 2006 #8 look good to me.

I have some friends who work at Google. Amazing place, and wonderful side benefits. (However, still not able to compensate for living in the Bay area.)

'Tis true. See this thread: http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=12370

My group subsidizes bikers (they are into bikers because the Medical Director is a biker) and car poolers. It is not a lot of money, but it does acknowledge the effort. I am pushing for them to do the same with hybrids. We shall see.
