A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
Can I buy a vehicle in December and still get the full Section 179 deduction?
Yes. Unlike regular depreciation which is prorated based on when the vehicle was placed in service, Section 179 provides the full deduction regardless of the month of purchase. You could buy a qualifying vehicle on December 15, use it for one business trip, and claim the full Section 179 deduction for that tax year.

People come for the number. They stay for how easy we make it.
I wish I knew leasing a car could be this easy years ago! I still can’t believe how seamless my experience was with Sean. He was extremely responsive and got me the best price compared to other dealers I had been talking to. The delivery of the car was on the exact day and time I asked for, even though it was a national holiday. I have already referred him to so many of my friends and family. So glad someone referred me to Sean. All the stress that comes with buying/leasing a car is now a thing of the past!

I can’t thank Sean enough for making my transition seamless and completely stress-free. What can often feel like an overwhelming process was made easy and comfortable from start to finish. He took the time to truly understand my wants, needs, and budget without any judgment, and kept me informed every step of the way. His humor and authenticity were an added bonus and made the experience even more enjoyable. Going from one lease to another in under a week felt effortless and refreshing, even without stepping into a dealership. See you in three years, Sean!
