A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Do I need to buy the vehicle before December 31 to claim Section 179?
The vehicle must be purchased and placed into service (meaning you are using it for business) before December 31 of the tax year you want to claim the deduction. Simply ordering the vehicle is not enough; it must be delivered and in use. If you are planning a year-end purchase, start the process early to avoid delays.

Great experience with Vantage. Was able to avoid the hassle of going to multiple car dealerships and the service was great. They Dropped off my new car, picked up my trade in and handed me a check. Will definitely use them in the future.

We had some unfortunate events with 2 cars, Vantage made it all the difference in getting us back to normal. They were extremely easy to work with, amazing service and attention to detail, and made buying a car a fantastic experience.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
