Who would buy a 40K car if you can buy a 60K SUV and get 25K off?
That only works if it is a direct tax CREDIT. If it is a deduction, then it depends on your tax bracket how much you actually save in taxes. So you spend an extra 20k to get a 25k deduction. Assume 30% thats 6-7k of tax savings. Not very smart.
