You will have to check with Pittsburgh Kia Dealers or your local car dealer specifically to see if any of the vehicles they sell qualify for a tax credit. You also might want to check with an IRS website to see if your vehicle qualifies for the tax credit. While it used to be offered on hybrid models like the popular Prius, the requirements are getting a bit tighter as years pass. Just like the government offered a housing tax credit to first time home buyers that was quite generous to stimulate the economy, by subsidizing the cost of the newer technology vehicles, it helps the vehicles sell.
If you look at it from an idealistic point of view that everyone in the country would drive an alternative fuel source vehicle or even one of the new electric vehicles, then there would be no need for government subsidies. The truth of the matter is that people are resistant to change, when looking across the broad spectrum. Just like people who go out for a used car but get swayed into a new car because it is a better price with the dealer and manufacturer rebates being offered, people will find themselves driving off the lot in an eco-friendly car they never thought they could afford.
