Thinking about going electric? Act now. Federal clean‑vehicle credits of up to $7,500 on new models and up to $4,000 on qualifying used models are scheduled to end after September 30, 2025 under recently passed tax legislation. To get the credit, you must take delivery by September 30, 2025. Jim Burke Lincoln in Bakersfield is ready to verify your eligibility and help you capture the savings before the program sunsets.
Why buy now with Jim Burke Lincoln?
-
Beat the deadline. Deliveries on or before September 30, 2025 can still qualify; vehicles delivered after that date won’t. We’ll prioritize scheduling so you don’t miss the cutoff.
-
Instant discount at checkout. You can transfer the credit to us at the point of sale, and we’ll apply it as an immediate price reduction, then report the sale to the IRS. You’ll reconcile on your tax return.
-
Lower cost of ownership. EVs and PHEVs typically have fewer scheduled maintenance items, and many utilities offer off‑peak charging rates—ask us for local guidance.
Who qualifies?
-
New vehicle credit (up to $7,500): Income limits up to $150,000 single / $225,000 head‑of‑household / $300,000 joint; price caps $55,000 (cars) and $80,000 (SUVs, pickups, vans); final assembly in North America and battery sourcing rules apply.
-
Used vehicle credit (up to $4,000, max 30% of price): Vehicle price $25,000 or less, model year at least two years old, purchased from a dealer; income limits $75,000 single / $112,500 HOH / $150,000 joint.
Lincoln models to watch
-
2025 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring (PHEV): Listed by the IRS as eligible for a $3,750 partial credit (subject to income, MSRP cap of $80,000, and sourcing rules) if delivered by Sept. 30, 2025.
-
Eligible used Lincolns: Aviator Grand Touring (2020–2023) and Corsair Grand Touring (2021–2023) may qualify for the used‑vehicle credit up to $4,000 when priced at or below $25,000 and meeting buyer rules. We’ll confirm VIN eligibility for you.
Note: Some third‑party lists have suggested fewer partial credits in 2025, but the IRS’s current eligibility table shows the 2025 Corsair Grand Touring at $3,750. We rely on IRS guidance as the source of truth.
