    I have a 2005 Option 6, but I am considering selling it and buying a 2006 Option 8. The dealer called me and said it would be available in two weeks. I only want to buy it if it is in the first 60,000 sold for the year and thus qualifying for the tax credit. How will I know before hand if it qualifies?

    Anything purchased in the first two quarters of 2006 (hybrid only, obviously) will qualify for the full tax credit. The quarter AFTER hybrid #60,000 is sold still qualifies for the full credit. The phase out begins after that and those vehicles sold will get a reduced credit.

    This spells it out pretty well.

    Note that the credit will not reduce your tax liability below your AMT.
