Hi;

Don't Quote me on this, but I don't think that you can Honestly take the Tax credit or I should say for 2005 HAH it would be a Tax Deduction.

Reason you are not purchasing the vehicle you are {LEASING} the vehicle and then returning it to the lease company.

The Tax deduction and or tax credit is for A [NEW-OWNER-PURCHASING} the Vehicle not Leasing it.

Please, keep in mind that I am not a Tax Attorney or the IRS so if you want to find out for sure I would call the IRS local Office and ask them if that Tax-Deduction Applies to a Lease Vehicle. Better-Safe-Than-SORRY.

Don't, Guess with the IRS, They Have NO-SENSE of Humor:

Good-Luck;

Terry
