Hello, I am new to Prius Chat and just talked to a dealer (in Daly City, near San Francisco) about getting a new Prius. (details on pricing forum). Is the tax credit going to change and when? I thought that it already went from from 3000 ish to 1500 ish, but is it going down again? Does it change on a time line or is it dependent on the volume of cars bought? Thanks!

Note, if you earn a lot of money or have lots of other deductions (i.e., family of four, over 100k income a year) and therefore qualify for the Alternative Minimum Tax, there is a slim chance you won't be able to take all of the credit. For most of us, though, (myself included) it was as good as cash.
