Commercial Auto Dealers

Hearse dealerships are a haven for people looking for classic Cadillac hearses and other funeral cars for whatever reason. If you know what you’re looking for, hearse dealerships can be the place where you will get the car of your dreams. Following are some little known facts about today’s hearses and the hearse culture so you know more about what you are getting into from your local hearse dealerships.

• Hearses tend to be well-maintained. Funeral directors typically use hearses for a few years before upgrading to a newer model. One proud hearse owner, Pat Fish, bought a 1959 Cadillac hearse in 1998 and it only had 23,000 miles on it. How many other cars can you find like that?

• Hearses, or funeral coaches, are usually about 20 feet long. As new, they can sell for as much as $70,000 or even more depending on the model and features you choose.

• The Professional Car Society sponsors annual gatherings for people who have restored their hearse. They do not allow, however, hearses with any gimmicky touches that tarnish the idea behind these funeral cars.

• If you’re “creeped out” by the idea of driving a hearse, take a word of advice from Paul Nix, a hearse enthusiast: “What is so spooky about a hearse? I’m more worried about live people.”

Did you know you can still get a tax break for purchasing a GMC 2008 hybrid? Many people are flocking to their local GMC dealer to invest in a GMC 2008 vehicle because they can no longer get a tax deal for the Prius. What’s even better is that they are enjoying the wide selection and quality from the GMC 2008 hybrids on the market today.

The tax credits began in 2005 when the federal government enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The purpose of the tax deduction was to encourage automakers to create more fuel-efficient vehicles. When they first began manufacturing the hybrids, they were worried that consumers wouldn’t buy them. But with the tax credits, consumers have flocked to dealer lots to take advantage of the deductions. In some cases, you can receive a deduction of up to $3,400 just for buying a hybrid!

Automakers are only allowed to sell 60,000 hybrid units before their products are no longer eligible for tax credits. GMC still has many hybrid models that offer the credits if you’re looking to buy a hybrid. Following is a list of the company’s hybrid or fuel-efficient models that still carry a credit along with how much that credit actually is:

2008 Chevrolet Malibu - $1,300
2008 Chevrolet Tahoe - $2,200
2008 GMC Yukon - $2,200
2008 Saturn Vue Green Line - $1,550
2008 Saturn Aura Green Line - $1,300

This is just another incentive to visit you local GMC dealer. In addition to getting a great deal and helping the environment, you can also get a huge deduction on your taxes!
