In the great state of Colorado, you can now buy a 2009 Tesla Roadster for just $67,800, or $42 thousand less than what most people pay for it. And just in time for the holidays, Tesla will be opening the doors to its Gallery in Boulder, Colorado.
The only catch is this is a tax break so you have to live in Colorado (almost makes it worth the money to move there, doesn't it?) and you have to buy before December 31.

That's not all. If you want to (see the full list in this pdf from Colorado state), you could buy a 2009 Lexus LS 600h L and get $20,000 back. Or, if you want to spend less (or just don't expect somehow to pay $20,000 in taxes for which you would be eligible for a tax credit to get it back), you could buy an Insight or Prius and expect $3,000 in tax credits.
The tax credits were set up to return up to 85% of the difference between alternative fueled cars, and the price of an equivalent car running on just gas.
Interested in a 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid? You could get almost $4,000 back. A Lexus GS 450h? Almost $6,500. The 2009 Cadillac Escalade could net you almost $5,500 in tax credits.
I'm not sure this state tax credit was well thought out???
