Virginia has a program that was supposed to end a few years ago, but has been extended again and again. <BR/><BR/>The tax credits make things a lot easier for those willing to take a chance. And although I believe we are past the 'first' stage, some car makers are still trying to develop hybrid cars and so the tax credits and other incentives are still needed to encourage them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153935609499338685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19154622.post-86608724256875347202008-02-13T15:42:00.000-05:002008-02-13T15:42:00.000-05:00Finally somthing is happening here, but I'm afrad ...Finally somthing is happening here, but I'm afrad it's Too Little, Too Late, for Colorado.<BR/><BR/>These kinds of programs were adopted by some states years ago to encourge hybrid purchases when the technology was still new. Colorado dragged their feet since 2003, waiting on official federal approval.<BR/>Now plenty of people have hybrids already, so they have to limit participation, and the program runs out in 2009 anyway. Hardly seems worth it anymore (although I suppose I might as well try to get in on it).<BR/><BR/>On the other hand Colorado has some very nice tax credits for buying hybrids (~$3-4K for many of them)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
