Part of the Economic Stimulus Package that was unveiled and signed earlier this month will be of interest to anyone planning on purchasing a new car.
If you purchase a new vehicle between February 17th 2009 and December 31st 2009 you will be able to deduct the amount you pay in State Sales Tax from your Federal Income Taxes. This is available on purchases up to $49,500.
The national average cost of a new vehicle is approximately $28,000. In Michigan, our 6% Sales Tax on this purchase amount would be $1,680 which you would be able to deduct from your Federal Income Taxes.
This deduction, along with the great incentives from General Motors and high trade values make it a great time to purchase a new vehicle.
If you have any questions regarding this program please contact a certified accountant or www.irs.gov

Valentine's Day Is Coming - Show Your Vehicle Some Love!
Just a little TLC for your car or truck can go a long way.
Most people are familiar with the 3 month/3,000 mile recommended schedule for oil changes. While following that rule of thumb will help keep your vehicle in great shape, GM has added great tools to their vehicles in recent years to help you keep more accurate tabs on when your vehicle will be due for routine service.
Many GM Vehicles now come equipped with computerized Oil Life Monitoring systems that take more factors than just mileage into account when alerting you for your next service. These new systems take variables like the type of driving you do, engine temperatures and drive time into account when deciding to alert you for your next oil change. In some cases, this may mean that in some cases you may be alerted for an oil change before or after the 3,000 mile/3 month marker you are used to.
Following along with the Oil Life Monitoring System and GM's recommended maintenance schedule at a GM Dealership can help reduce the risk of engine problems and can help ensure that your warranty remains up to date and valid.
Another great tool available on many GM Vehicles is the Onstar Vehicle Diagnostics email. Customers who have an active Onstar Subscription can sign up for a free monthly email that will send them an update on their vehicle's vital systems and account information. They can even choose a specific dealership's Service Department to be notified when their vehicle is due for regularly scheduled maintenance.
If you have any service related questions please feel free to contact Graff Chevrolet's Service Department at 989-684-4411 or email baycity@graffservice.com
