One of the most confusing parts of the used EV tax credit is the "first transfer" rule. We found ourselves explaining it often, so we published a blog article with all of the frequently asked questions regarding this rule.

To qualify for the used EV tax credit, the sale must be the first transfer after August 16, 2022 to someone other than the original owner.

What if the vehicle was leased and the lease was bought out after August 16, 2022?
What if the vehicle was transferred after August 16, 2022, but the buyer didn't qualify or didn't claim the credit?
Why are the IRS guidelines the way they are?

We explain these questions and more, along with references to guidance from the IRS.

If you owe more on your car loan than a buyer is willing to pay for your vehicle, you have negative equity. Don't worry, this is not uncommon! 

If you want to sell your car, you'll still want to maximize your sale price so that you minimize the extra amount you have to pay to your lender.

Buying a used EV from a private seller? You could instantly get 30% off up to $4k when you pay with KeySavvy.

As a licensed dealer, we make private party sales qualify for the federal Used Clean Vehicle Credit. Starting in 2024, you can get the credit at point-of-sale so you don't have to wait until you file your taxes next year.

Is it safe to accept PayPal when selling a car?

Even if you're willing to pay the 2.9% fee, motor vehicles aren't eligible for PayPal Buyer or Seller Protection, so PayPal will immediately deny any disputes. If you're using the free "friends and family" option to exchange funds, the buyer's payment could be reversed and the seller would be responsible for returning the funds to PayPal.

It's not safe for the buyer, either, since PayPal doesn't make any guarantees that the seller actually owns the vehicle and the title is clear of any liens.

Dive deeper in the latest post in our series about safe payment methods.
