Do I Have to Trade in a Vehicle to Receive Tax Benefits?
A lot of questions can arise when buying or leasing a new Nissan. We understand at Nucar Nissan of Norwood how important it is to have them answered fully so that you feel comfortable with your decision, especially when it comes to finances. One of the best ways to save money and help pay for your new Nissan is to trade-in your old vehicle. Not only will it reduce the price you pay on your beautiful new car or truck, the state of Massachusetts will only require you to pay tax on the difference after trade-in. So, for example, say that you want to buy a new Nissan priced at $30,000 to cruise around Norwood or go on trips to Boston.
You decide to trade-in your old vehicle worth $10,000, whose value is subtracted from the original price ($30,000 – $10,000). This brings the cost down to $20,000 after trade-in. You will only pay taxes on the $20,000 difference, instead of on the $30,000 original price. That’s a big difference.
The only way to receive this special tax discount is through a vehicle trade-in because we need the value of that asset to make up for the extra cost.
