This i3 appears to include the Technology & Driving Assistant package (ACC, wide entertainment system screen, adaptive LED headlights) and the Harman Kardon entertainment system. So despite being the lowest trim level, Deka World, it does have a couple of desirable options.

It also has the California car pool lane stickers and the 2nd cup holder ($90!) is not missing

You are absolutely right @alohart, thanks for pointing it out. It does have the Tech and Driving Assist Package with universal garage door opener, LED headlights with cornering, auto high beams, ACC , active drive assist, Navigation, and Advanced RTTI). And the harman/kardon Premium System.

Almost lost the cup holder a few times
Love driving this car. If I didn't need a larger one, I would keep it.
The car pool stickers are expired.

Great color, great vehicle. Very clean with nice options. HK is definitely worth it. I just bought a 2021 i3S version in the same color. Love it. Have you placed this vehicle on cars.com?

Would you consider using keysavvy.com so that a private sale can get the tax credit if they qualify?

Thanks @tongsli. KeySavvy makes sense so that the buyer gets a tax credit. I would ask that the buyer pay the KeySavvy fee.

I signed up with Keysavvy when selling our 2019 i3 in July. It had good reviews and was legit. However, our buyer didn't qualify for the tax credit due to exceeding the modified adjusted taxable income limit, so we didn't complete the sale through. That didn't matter because Keysavvy's reasonable fee isn't paid until a sale is completed using Keysavvy.

Glad to hear that. I checked out the reviews as well, and it looks like it provides a valuable service especially for buyers.

The credit can be last year's adjusted gross income or THIS year's Adjusted gross income, which ever is lower. 75K filing single or 150K filing joint. So there is a two year window on income which the potential buyer can use. GOOD LUCK. Love your car

so the tax credit is from California, so I ed to have $4000 dedect in 2024 or 2025?

Tax credit is federal, not state. It’s applied to the sale price, not at tax filing time.

I bought via keysavvy in April. extremely smooth process. Had temp tags within an hour or so

It can technically be at sale or at the end of the year so both options are available. There are different forms which are needed in either case.

Yes; one key thing is that for at time of sale, dealer needs to file *and get accepted by the IRS before physical delivery * via a special online system that the dealer registers in.

Yes, I was the first one at the out of state used car dealer to file for the EV federal tax credit for my second i3 - a 2021 i3 REx. Total price (not including legally required costs like sales tax and license tag) has to not exceed $25,000 as well as my income limits.

I will be filing the form (with print out from dealer from the IRS) with my 1040 before April 15, 2025. I will deduct $4,000 from taxes due. (30% of price up to a maximum of $4,000)

Needed:
- Dealer registered with IRS and they register sale to you with the IRS (you get a printout)
- MAGI income of less than $75,000 single, $150,000 married
- Total cost of car (including dealer add-ons but NOT sales tax, tags or other legally required costs) <$25,000

And the tax credit must have not been taken before for that car. Only one tax credit is allowed per vin number. I bought a used BMW i3 earlier this year myself that woulld have qualified, but unfortunately for me the tax credit had already been "harvested" by a previous short term owner.

I think this is the rule that you are referencing. If it was sold use before this date, I "think" it may still qualify??​

Additionally, the vehicle must:​

• Be a Fuel Cell Vehicle or plug-in EV with a battery capacity of at least 7 kilowatt hours;
• Be bought for use primarily within the U.S.;
• Have a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds;
• Not have already been transferred to another buyer after August 16, 2022.

I have been the only owner, so the tax credit has not been used.

And just on the news: the new administration is planning on cancelling the EV tax credits. I assume 2024 purchases would not be affected.
