Consider buying this month...gets inventory off dealer lots for tax purposes, dealerships and salesmen making a last minute push to meet goals, etc.

This is the second time this week I've heard that, I know its probably true but what is the math behind that tax incentive? If anything it would drive their income up, no? Can anyone explain that to me?

That being said it IS true--helped a buddy buy a used subaru this weekend and talked a small local dealer down $1k (on a $5k car) w/o much hassle.

It doesn't help with taxes, it just makes their financials look better. Lower inventory and more income = win, win.

There are two things here, business owners buy last min car for tax write off for 2014 and dealers meeting their quotes for bonus and budget incentives.

I'm actually more interested in the Pentastar V6 2014s.

None of those address the things I mentioned actually. Yes I understand they want to sell as much as possible end of year, quotas, etc....and I understand a biz owner wanting to add some depreciation. I have directly heard and seen typed on this forum dealers wanting to lower their inventory 'for tax purposes'

If I'm missing something let me know :D

Businesses are taxed on inventory.

Inventory = assets

Not only that, but we pay interest on our inventory. We don't own any of our new cars.
