Got my rebate check
 

Yesterday, it was waiting in my mailbox.... $500.00 from the Commonwealth of PA for buying an HCHII. :) Funny thing was that my dealer didn't know about the rebate.

Wish we got one of those in AZ

Wish we got one of those in Texas too, except then we would probably have a state income tax.:D

Yeah Bill,

I got mine too about 2 weeks ago.

I actually found out about it when I was reading the "revised" Hybrid cost payback article on Consumer Reports online! This was a month after I purchased the HCH II. I think because it's a DEP Rebate it isn't highly publicized - although you would think that somebody would have known about it (I spent a month plus on this site without reading a thing about it).

NO! We must defer taxes and not pay for anything worthwhile. ;)

P.S. Actually AZ is a pretty good state to live in.

I got money back, but not because of my car. I'll be using it to tint my windows. :thumbs_up

My dealer didnt know about it either. They did even know that the federal changed from a deduction to a credit.
How long did it take to get the rebate check? I sent mine about 3-4 weeks ago.
An ex-coworker had a lot of trouble last year after submitting for his rebate on a Prius. The state kept calling wanting more documentation each time.
I sent all the documentation I had through my state rep. I'm hoping that no news is good news..

Mine took about 5 weeks - although if you sent documentation through your state rep - who knows how that might affect the process.

I sent mine directly to the DEP. The needed additional information which was processed over the phone (I forgot to put my wife's SSN on the form - as a co-owner of the car). It was approved almost immediately after that and then waited 4 weeks for processing of the check.

Dave,

It took about a month. I sent the forms directly to the state. The only documentation I sent was a copy of my sales contract from the dealer.

I just received $1,000 Sales Tax rebate from the Ontario, Canada government. It took them 4 months to get it to me.
Good news is for prospective owners is that they have now raised it to $2,000 rebate.
