Land Rover Defender 130
$70,000-$120,000
Can You Write Off Land Rover Defender 130?
Short answer: Possible: the 8-seat Defender 130 tops 6,000 lbs GVWR, but as an SUV the Section 179 portion is capped and personal use must be excluded.
Over 6,000 lbs GVWR, the passenger-car depreciation caps don't apply: pickups with 6-foot beds and cargo vans can be fully expensed with 100% bonus depreciation, while SUVs are limited to about $32,000 under Section 179 (bonus covers the rest). Business use must exceed 50%.
Records to keep: Keep the purchase contract, the door-jamb GVWR sticker photo, and a mileage log showing business vs personal miles.
