All I can say is when @stickguy’s Maverick shows up he better be there when it rolls off the truck or we’ll be hearing a tale about that.

I need some help. I feel like I know the answer but I just want to be SURE.
I buy an EV. At tax time, let’s say, after deductions, the feds say my taxes are $20k, but I have paid $22k through payroll deductions. So they owe me a $2k refund. How does the EV credit then work? Because my tax liability was well beyond 7500, I get a $9500 refund … right?? It is just that I have read things like “it doesn’t increase your refund,” but I don’t think that is what they mean.

one reason I like using the tax software. Just plug in the numbers when asked, and you get your bottom line answer. But even doing it by hand, there will be a line tied to a schedule for calculating your credit. Assuming you qualify it should carry over to the 1040 as a deduction.
Maybe Snake the accountant can explain what that line about your refund means.

here is a definitely cheaper, more mainstream E30. I like this, but has some normal needs so a bit of a project. Would not touch this if couldn't DIY everything. Would cost way too much to farm it all out I bet.

BTW, I do not think that this should be counted as a punch as he lives on his own I think punches for us should only count if the family member lives in the same home.

The Si does have a more powerful engine, limited-slip differential, better brakes and tires, upgraded suspension, Bose stereo, etc, but no power seat, and no heated seat either. The Si does have a moonroof though.

Where I get confused is what if you owe less than the $7500 credit. Do you have to carry any excess credit over until next year or do you get it as a refund?
2019 Kia Soul+, 2015 Mustang GT, 2013 Ford F-150, 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible
$7500 tax credit
$12500 net tax
$22000 withholding
$9500 refund.
The amount of your withholding has absolutely nothing to do with the tax credit being refundable. The only thing that matters is your tax liability being more than the credit.

she doesn't need the car normally, but just likes having it for weekends and going home or any other quick trips. Her train home was typical of a trip for her. The Acela was taken out by a deer. Apparently it hit a deer on the tracks about 20 minutes outside of Boston, and somehow an antler broke the lead locomotive. Hard to believe but it happened. Thankfully the rear locomotive worked, so they had to back up to the previous station, and send out a new train to pick them all up. Surprised me that it only added about 1:30 to the trip. Probably still quicker than driving.

I'll ask Monday if they will take a deposit for one at Sticker even if not showing up for many months. Who knows, they just might! But probably not.

I agree. The “base” Integra is going to be a tough sell. Not only will it compete with the Civic Si, WRX, & GTI for sales, but for a few thousand more there will be the Civic Type R. I’m sure Acura will come out with an Integra Type S too. The “base” Integra might become the red headed step child of the lineup and maybe the one that sits on dealer lots the longest once the original hype dies down and all the “1st in lines” are ready to trade theirs’ in.

Now they switch back to an actual name, and they whine about that as well.
Sheesh.

Exactly - if even one half of 1 percent of the people that said over the past 20 years “I don’t understand why Acura doesn’t come out with a new Integra” actually buy one, it will be a smashing success. Do these people honestly want an exact replica of what was sold here from 1994 - 2001? These are the same people who complained in 1998 that “they can’t believe Acura isn’t changing the car after 4 years like every other Honda.” Just like the people who wanted a new Supra for years and then moan about how it’s a BMW and not a Supra. Again, you have a choice; Toyota body over BMW engine/chassis/transmission or no Supra.
I know not everybody loves Doug DeMuro, but he had a great review of an Integra Type R a few years ago. I should probably insert a link here, but I’m too lazy.
All these enthusiast cars got discontinued at 1 point or another because they didn’t sell. Car manufacturers are in the business of selling cars (and being profitable at doing so).
We should all be thankful that Acura is giving us a new Integra with 3 pedals.

and I would bet the vast majority of people complaining online, if Acura did release a 2+2 hatch with unusable back seat, with expensive underpinnings and charged the $40K it would cost, wouldn't buy one anyway.
all through it's life, most of the Integra sales were more base models anyway, and though I don't have the numbers, would not surprise me at all if the 4 door outsold the 2 door, certainly once you got into the 2nd gen.
At least they used the Si Civic, and not the base car, as the entry level. Which is probably going to be quicker than almost every Integra that came before it!
I guess though with so many people wanting a small 2 door hatch with tiny back seats, the new BRZ/AE86 are going to sell like hotcakes!

Not having much luck getting a Ford dealer to sell me a Mach E. Why are things overly difficult now? I got one still with an open recall they can’t sell. Another who keeps bugging me to buy a more expensive one than I want. Two who keep emailing me “we haven’t heard from you” when, in fact, they have but no real human has reached out. And one today who called and said “yes we have that in stock. Yes it is just msrp.” Ok, great, so sell it to me. “When can you come in to talk?” We’re talking now. I’ll take it. “Uhhh…ummm….I’ll have a sales associate call you Monday to go over your options.” Huh?? You have a car and a price and I have money and will pay what you are asking. This is classic case of talking yourself out of a sale. Close me! Now! No, I have to wait. WTH?
