Reserved a 2007. >> Got a Touring '07 >> Now with PICS

Silverlode · 08-05-2006, 03:01 PM

I put a deposit down on a 2007 Magnetic Gray. I know I'm probably losing half of the tax credit, but I haven't had much luck finding what I wanted (#7 or #8) in a color I would drive in a 2006. Looks like I'm just a month late to the tax credit party. Oh, well.

Really excited to get my prius! I was told "end of September".

EDIT: See last post. Pics at:

If you're able to get it before the end of September, you'll get the full tax monte.

Yeah I know...just not expecting it to actually come in by then.

As of 7/11/06 the IRS had NOT listed the 2007 Prius as eligible for the tax credit.

True. But I think it's reasonable to expect that they will. I seem to remember it was an abnormally long time before the '06 was certified as "eligible."

I am still confused on the tax credit - would I get the full credit if I paid for the car now but received the actually car in Oct?

You have to take delivery of the car before Sept 30. You use the invoice from the dealer that states when the car was put into service for your tax records.

Doing paperwork this week, so I'll be eligable for the full credit. Can't wait to take delivery of my Mag Gray!!

How is paperwork going to help you? You may or may not get your car by the 30th, if I'm reading correctly, and even if you do, as of this date the IRS does NOT have the 07 Prius listed for a tax credit.

Silverlode · 09-29-2006, 03:23 PM

By "paperwork" I mean, going to pay for the car and get title and all that, since the dealership had the VIN.

Turns out, I show up at the dealership today and they have an '07 Black Touring Edition on the lot....so I took it!

I now am the proud owner of a black touring '07! It's sweet.
