Tax Max Car Down Payment Example


Let’s see an example of how our Tax Max program works, using our imaginary new customer, Jane.

Jane lives near Raleigh, North Carolina, and is looking to buy a used car. She knows she is approved for financing at AutoMax - because everyone is! - but she needs to make a down payment of $1,000 on the car she wants to buy.

During the Tax Max promotion, Jane sits down with a financial specialist at AutoMax, who calculates that Jane will probably receive a $3,000 tax refund after she files her 2020 taxes. This amount is three times the value of the $1,000 down payment on the car she loves.

Jane uses the Tax Max promotion to pay $89 as her down payment. She makes a note in her smartphone calendar that the remaining $911 will be due by DATE. Jane is able to drive away in a nicer, newer car the very same day.

When it’s time to file her taxes, Jane collects her W-2s from each of her employers and other relevant tax documents and comes back to AutoMax for free tax preparation! After her $3,000 refund comes in, she pays off the remainder of her down payment.
