spending your 2015 tax refund on a used car So you just did your taxes and you are expecting a tax return that gives you a few dollars back that you didn’t have before. That’s exciting! It might not be a lot, but many people like us tend to use that money to fix up a car that needs maintenance or to look at buying a newer vehicle. We’ll tell you about spending your 2015 tax refund on a used car. more Not many of us get a tax refund that is big enough to buy a new car. However, the average tax return (around $3,000) tends to give people enough grease in their wheels to think about a down payment on a used car. Is this a good idea? Here are some things to consider: Dealerships know about tax returns. The secret is out. People who work at car dealerships are probably just as excited about their tax return as you are. So, they are looking for people like you to come to the lot and look around with your refund money burning a hole in your pocket. Try and be careful to do your research instead of jumping on the first good deal you see. Check out certified pre-owned vehicles or spend some time doing a little reviewing your purchase before putting the money down. You might end up wishing you had gotten a better deal. Dealerships use tax return season to sell cars. So, they know you have tax return dollars, but they also know that they want to sell cars. This can be a good thing for us! A used car dealership is more likely to have cars at lower prices and better deals around this time because they know people like us are out there looking. Want to see what we have in inventory? Check this out! So, is it the right time for you to get a newer vehicle? It sure is nice to have the tax return money to use, but make sure that you find the right car for you. We, at Palmen GM, want to help our customers find the perfect vehicle. Contact us here to set up an appointment!

Illinois leasing law change If you're an Illinois resident who has ever considered leasing rather than financing a new car, you're probably well aware that the tax laws have not exactly been in your favor in that department. More specifically, Illinois has for some time been in the stark minority of states to to tax the  entire value of the vehicle for a lease, and now the Illinois leasing law change that's gone into effect on January 1, 2015 will create a vastly different -- and beneficial -- situation for those looking to lease. more Specifically, what will happen now is that rather than paying a tax that is based on the value of the vehicle, you'll pay taxes on what you actually pay over the course of your lease -- that is, your down payment as well as your subsequent monthly payments. Should you end up paying any excess mileage fees or any are incurred for wear and tear, a tax will be applicable to those as well. For example, let's say you're one of our customers from Illinois looking to lease a new Buick Regal, and for the sake of simplicity lets say the value of the model you're looking at is exactly $30,000 and your county's tax rate is 8.25%. In total then, you'd need to pay a total of $2,475 in taxes on that vehicle, which could be paid up front or rolled into your monthly payments. Either way, it's a significant tax on something you're not necessarily planning to own. Under the new law, which would tax your down payment and monthly payments, you'd see significant savings. Let's say your down payment was $2,000 and you paid $300 a month after that for the lease term, your total taxes paid after a typical 36-month lease would be $1,056. That's a total savings of $1,419 -- more than half of the taxes shaved off -- because of this new change to the law. In closing, there's never been a better time to lease with us here at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac, so go ahead and check out our inventory and current lease incentives! Give us a call if you'd like to come in for a test drive or if there's anything we can answer for you about the new lease laws for the state of Illinois.
