My buddy just bought a Jetta TDI. One of the articles on one of these posts mentioned the new instituted Federal rebate on fuel efficient vehicles. I had heard of it before but this got me thinking.... How do you go about getting the rebate?

Thanks.

I think this is something you'd talk to your tax guy about. I believe it is a tax credit that is the "rebate".

If I remember, the vehicle had to be specifally listed to qualify for the tax break.

I could be wrong, but I think that the rebates only apply to Hybrid vehicles. It is a $2000 tax deduction per car.

Vehicles approved by IRS as of Nov. 14, 2005.

Ford Escape Hybrid 2005-2006
Honda Accord Hybrid 2005
Honda Civic Hybrid 2003-2005
Honda Insight 2000-2005
Lexus RX 400h 2006
Mercury Mariner Hybrid 2006
Toyota Highlander Hybrid 2006
Toyota Prius 2001-2005

Even though the Jetta gets good fuel mileage it doesn't fall under the "clean fuel" deduction. But like I said, I could be wrong.

our trucks would not apply the EPA does not even list guesstimated fuel mileage for them

This is right. The TDI does not meet the emision standards to get the rebate. It might in '07 form what I was reading so they can also be sold in Kalifornia. Thanks all.
