How does that $7500 income tax credit work? It's applied to the down?

Is it really like getting $7500 back on your taxes?

Nah, it just lowers your taxable income by $7500.


*edit* - The $7500 inc. tax credit goes to the dealer to subsidize the down payment. The $2500 CA credit (it's not a tax credit, it's a staight up cash money) goes directly to you a few months later. You fill out the paperwork like you would any ole' MIR (except I doubt there's a need for a cutout of the UPC to mail in ).


It's $3500 up front, $2500 CA credit back in a few months. Glendale Fiat seems to be advertising this price. There's an additional $1000 rebate from Fiat if you've previously owned one of their cars I believe (Chrysler vehicle might be included?).


Fyi on charging, it takes 3 hours to charge a 9-10 mile range on a normal outlet, while a Level 2 will take 4 hours to full charge. Be mindful of that if your commute is say 30 miles or so. It's not as simple as charging it over night at home and thinking you'll be at 100% in the morning.



@Mike - http://slickdeals.net/f/7738237-fiat-500e-lease-deal-ca-or-only-82-mon-with-as-low-as-0-down?v=1&page=16&rpid=74956451&rp=15

That's the big thread on a deal website discussing this deal. User 'Gfurio' has already been to Glendale and confirmed. He's starting up a group buy to see if they can lower the down payment. Send him a PM with your email to see if you can get in for you guys really interested.

Here's a Google group to get in on this deal:

Good luck guys. Sent my buddy that way. If you were fam I'd negotiate it for you .

Thanks for the info. I keep going back and forth about doing this. LoL

So, a typical wall charger will take a full day or more to reach full charge?

I guess I need to read up on this more.

No I don't think so. It reduces your payment $7,500

Correct. Iv edited already to denote how it applies to the lease. The leasing company claims it on a lease vs the consumer in a purchase.

For 120V, yes. For me, it's perfect for alternating days and keeping the mileage within lease parameters.
