there are suckers that would do that. i know one...bought a used celica for more money than my other buddy did for a new one.
 
but i think hiwayman's point was to do more research before you sign your name on the dotted line for a car. who really cares if the dealership made or will make money. at the end of the day, he still lost $2500 due to the trade in

That statement is a little misleading. Whether or not you pay AMT is less dependent on your income and more dependent on your deductions. If you take the standard deduction, it's more likely than not that you will be able to realize the tax credit. If you itemize, it's a different story and you should either do a pro-forma calculation or have a tax professional do one for you.

Yes, the deduction is way more complicate than my post and you mentioned a couple more good points.
 
The problem is that many low income people won't have the extra $ (3-4K) to buy the hybrid in the first place so they have no problems with the AMT.
 
I think a good portion of people who buy this car might make 50K or more per year. A family of 4 with 100K income (6% pre-tax deduction for 401K, 2 kids tax credit, and no itemize deduction) can barely get any $ (b/c of AMT) back if they decide to buy a hybrid.
 
I think the credit should be just a straight deduction and not subject to AMT.

AMT is the single biggest problem with the current tax code. It was originally designed to cover something like 15 households across the country, but it was never indexed to inflation when it was first introduced in ~1970.
 
It's simply not fair to Americans to have to know two wholly separate tax codes, which is really what they are. If it's confined to the superrich, they have tax people to deal with it. It should not affect the number of people it currently is. End of story.
 
The problem is that now it's become such a revenue producer that they can't afford to get rid of it, or aren't willing to.
 
I would happily pay another 1-2% in my marginal tax rate for them to fix this and index AMT to inflation--even though I don't currently pay AMT.

AMT is outdated....
 
it's sort of like the mass pike tolls. they were supposed to be taken down once the mass pike was paid off, but now they keeping raising the tolls and are using it as a cash cow, booo!!!!!!

What did you pay for '08 w/Tech Package? by redturq9

I'm checking internet prices for an '08 with Tech package and sunroof...am getting quotes around $29600 to $30000 at various dealers in the Riverside, CA area. Seems pretty good to me but am curious if this is currently a fair price to pay...anyone else getting similar or better offers?
Thanks,
Steve

The list on my altima Hybrid with tech package and sun roof was $33,325. My price with destination is $30,300. That is in New York. So I would say you were quoted a good price. More competition your way I guess.
