commented:Heh--bad policy or not, we're taking advantage of it. Kevin's Contour is on its last legs and we've been looking at the Prius for months. Of course, we waited until January to take advantage of the tax credit and our name's on the list (yes, there's still a list in Southern California). We should get our Prius, and big fat tax credit, in February *BEG*. OTOH, if the proverbial "they" sell the 60,000 before we get ours, won't I feel like an idiot? ;) Nah, we wanted the Prius anyway :D.on Sat Jan 14 07:37:28 2006 |
David commented: So long as you were going to buy it anyway, and are willing to pay full price, no problem. But it certainly doesn't seem to be encouraging people to buy more fuel efficient cars (that they wouldn't have bought anyway). I dunno - it's a really mixed bag, and it should have been really simple and straightforward. But I hope you guys benefit - I certainly don't object to someone getting a tax break for a Prius! I can't believe there's still a waiting list - you'd think Toyota would have gotten on that ages ago!on Sat Jan 14 17:56:40 2006 |
Shelby commented: I totally hear you and yeah, we were planning on buying it anyway and didn't mind full price. And we could've had a 2005 right off the lot back in December--it's January with the waiting list :D.on Sat Jan 14 19:27:52 2006 |
