Mercedes-Benz S-Class
$120,000-$200,000
Is an S-Class a Tax Write-Off?
Short answer: Partly: the S-Class is under 6,000 lbs GVWR, so business use is deductible but first-year depreciation is capped at roughly $20,000 under the luxury auto limits.
You can use either the standard mileage rate or actual expenses times your business-use percentage. Commuting is never deductible. Pricey passenger cars draw attention, so keep a clean log.
Records to keep: Keep a contemporaneous mileage log (date, miles, business purpose), business-use percentage, the purchase contract, and a photo of the door-jamb GVWR sticker.
