My appointment is Monday the 17th. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere on the forum. I live in Colorado and we pay 7.5% tax rate on the purchase price of a new vehicle. My replacement vehicle is about $29,000. I'll get $22k and change for my Jetta with $16K and some change for the actual car value. Are we able to use our cars as a trade in to offset the tax liability? If not, my taxes will be $2,200!! Anyone have any experience with this?
