    I just bought a 2010 prius III on 1/3/2011. Is there a tax credit for 2011 since I bought it in 2011?

    Unfortunately, there are no more federal tax credits for the Prius Hybrid. The Prius Hybrid tax credit completed in 2008.

    Federal Tax Credits for Hybrids


    I did some searching and it doesn't look like Florida offers any state tax incentives for the Prius Hybrid. Florida does offer an HOV sticker...

    All Toyota and Lexus hybrid federal tax credits phased out on September 30, 2007.

    Ford's credits phased out on March 31, 2010.

    For the last nine months of 2010, the only companies with tax credits were BMW, the GM family, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Porsche. They retained their full credit right up to the end on Friday, as none of them reached the phase-out threshold.

    Congrats and welcome to PriusChat.

    Though federal tax credits are not available, check with your state.

    I don't think I saw, but what color and package did you get?

    Happy Motoring,

    Tom

    I purchased a prius III with the technology package (JBL/BLUETOOTH). The color is Blizzard Pearl which I love.

    Sorry, but you certainly did not buy a III with the AT package. The AT package is only available on a V. The III can get nav or the solar roof with nav.

    maybe he's confused term "GEN III Prius" with the "Prius III".

    maybe....:rolleyes:
