Buyers of Volkswagen Jetta TDI vehicles eligible for a $1300 Federal Tax Credit

HERNDON, Va.-Volkswagen of America, Inc. today announced that buyers of the Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen are eligible for a $1,300 Federal Income Tax Credit.

The Internal Revenue Service has issued a certification letter affirming that the vehicles qualify for the Advanced Lean Burn Technology Motor Vehicle income tax credit.

"The $1,300 tax credit provides an even greater value to the upcoming Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen," said Mark Barnes, COO, Volkswagen of America, Inc. "Our clean diesel vehicles offer consumers the fuel efficiency that they're looking for while providing power, utility, performance, safety and excellent value." Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen showcase the best of both worlds, an alternative fuel vehicle with no compromises. Fuel efficiency, performance and convenience come standard with the 50-state compliant Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen models, which meet the most stringent emissions standards in California. Vehicles are currently available to test drive at local Volkswagen dealers, both models will be available for sale this August.

While the Environmental Protection Agency estimates the Jetta TDI at an economical 29 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, Volkswagen went a step further to show real world fuel economy of the Jetta TDI. Leading third-party certifier, AMCI, tested the Jetta TDI and found it performed 24 percent better in real world conditions, achieving 38 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway.*

The Jetta TDI models come standard with Volkswagen's Prevent and Preserve Safety System, consisting of numerous standard safety features. Both the Jetta TDI sedan and SportWagen include six airbags with optional rear side airbags and like all 2009 model year Volkswagens, Jetta TDIs also feature standard Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) for added safety.

Also standard for 2009 is Volkswagen's Carefree Maintenance Program, with this program there are no charges for the scheduled maintenance described in the vehicle's maintenance booklet for the length of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty-three years or 36 000 miles whichever occurs first.

Tax credits are only bad when someone else gets them.

Curious how many people who cheer this have attacked hybrids for thier tax credits.

Not me.

Availability of diesel fuel is the only one I can think of.

I almost had my wife talked into a TDI until she started paying attention to where the diesel stations are in town. They're a bit out of the way, and that is a turn-off for some.

Hummers with a 2 gallon propane tank (never used)

HOV lanes so Priuses can use it...

Do we have to 'incentiveise '
diesels now too.

I assume that most of the people on vortex pay taxes.

clutch in, vroOOOM, slide into gear, clutch out at exactly the right time so that the clutch and flywheel are spinning at exactly the same speed. Very smooth, no clutch wear.

Either way I will get one.

Dammit, someone didn't put the warning out in time!

Sneak attack!

I will now refer to Hal as "U-turn" from now on.

(Subtle Weeds reference fyi.)

While not federal, a few provinces have this already, talk to your provincial government to get something like this setup for Alberta.
