Suburban gone, 2009 NAH here by smilinjackross

I trade in my 1999 Suburban with 223,000 miles on it for a Nissan Altima Hybrid. Went from 14 mpg to 34.
 
Nissan offered a $3250 rebate + $4500 for C4C + $2350 tax credit + sales tax is deductible + got it for below invoice so I think it was a good deal. It's fun to drive and I'm entertaining myself trying to keep it in "EV" mode so I use less gas.
 
I have a long commute and my gas bill will be more than cut in half. I think it is the right move for me at this time.

I wonder if they survey politcal affiliation by doidoadiesel

and who takes advantage of cash for clunkers. Lots of Republicans in the House and Senate were against it - I wonder if the same is true of constituents? As for me I am registered a Democrat and traded my wrecked, rusty, and abused 15 year old 4Runner for a brand new Camry. Any Rupublicans taking advantage of C4C or is it just us Democratic Socialists?

They almost had to pay you to take the new car. It don't get much better than that. I am kind of half way hoping I can pull some sort of deal like that on a new Golf TDI. It is pretty slim chance it will get done. Those were some serious miles on the Suburban at 13 MPG. When I sold my 98 K1500 in 2005 it only had 45k on it.

Middle of the road Repub here enjoying the crap out of my Hyundai Sonata, 30+ mpg with my 30 miles each way travel to work. Huge difference over my 14 mpg Explorer. Gee, I save roughly my car payment each month in gas. Yet I'm sure some know it all will see it differently.

your explorer must have been hurting, if it only got 14 mpg on a 30 one way commute.
congrats on your new Sonata. there are people at work that replacing their previous hyundai's with new ones (before C4C for the new ones).

I traded in my 1985 Cadillac that had tons of issues for a beautiful Apple Green Hyundai Accent hatchback. I am very happy with my new car.

Not too many people would trade a Cadillac, even an old one, for a Hyundai Accent, but congratulations.

"......Nissan offered a $3250 rebate + $4500 for C4C + $2350 tax credit + sales tax is deductible + got it for below invoice......"
 
I know that the sales tax can be deducted from my income tax, but what is is the $2350 tax credit you refer to?
Thanks.
