Keep in mind that if you trade your hybrid vehicle you may have to give up the tax credit and you probably can't reclaim it with the new (used) vehicle you would be buying.
 
I'm no expert on this but you should check that out prior to a change.

The Tax Credit documentation is fairly clear about keeping the vehicle for personal use.
 
You might want to check with the IRS on the following:
 
The vehicle is acquired for use or lease by the taxpayer, and not for resale.
 
Rules relating to recapture of credit (e.g., if the vehicle is re-sold)

I had second thoughts but I couldn't resist--I love my mag gray/bisque Camry. But for the heck of it, I listed it on EBay and it quickly sold to a guy in California for 2.5K over what I paid, not including the federal and state tax credits that I will get! (and I will get them)
 
 I then called my dealer and guess what? Please don't hate me--they have an exact copy (color/options, etc) of my car arriving this week. A cancellation. The buyer is picking up my car on Tuesday and the replacement for it will arrive sometime this week. Capitalism--I feel guilty but, heh, the guy wanted a new Camry hybrid and he didn't mind paying a premium. I get a new one without miles. Sigh...I hate myself.

You may want to check the tax laws. I've heard that you may not get to keep the credit if you resell the car.
Here is an article:
http://hybridcars.com/tax-deductions-credits.html
 
"The new law for the hybrid tax credit might require taxpayers to recapture their hybrid tax credit if they re-sell their hybrid car or truck."
 
Again, this is all unconfirmed. Let us know what you find out.
 
YMMV

I found some interesting Tax Credit Links. Some of this is new:
 
Information on the deduction:
http://hybridcars.com/tax-deductions-credits.html
 
Form for the deduction:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8910.pdf
 
US Tax Code relating to the deduction.
http://www.taxalmanac.org/index.php/Sec._30B._Alternative_motor_vehicle_credit
 
If I read it correctly, there are still rules to be written, including one regarding "recapture" of the credit:
 (8) RECAPTURE- The Secretary shall, by regulations, provide for
               recapturing the benefit of any credit allowable under subsection
              (a) with respect to any property which ceases to be property eligible
              for such credit (including recapture in the case of a lease period of
              less than the economic life of a vehicle).
 
As always, YMMV.

Nothing wrong with making money. I do think you will only get the tax credit on the second car. There is a part that says you cannot sell. No specific time limit.

sales tax by ehasz

djpdx1,
 
What about sales tax? Didn't you have to pay it when you bought it -- and you don't get it back when you sell it, do you? Unless I am misunderstanding something...

That occcurred to me too. You end up paying sales tax twice, unless you are in a state that only charges you tax on the difference between the new car price and the trade in value. Even this way, you are paying tax on the full vehicle once (when you don't have a trade in vehicle).
 
Thats 1835 in tax in my state (Michigan), and they charge tax on the full vehicle price, regardless of your trade in (which kind of sucks - but that is another story)...
