They won't sell 60,000 of them--the Altima Hybrid is only available in the five CARB-adopting states. The rest of us are SOL.

Jimmy: I assume you're joking, but in case you're not, they are referring to the 5th quarter AFTER 60,000 cars are sold. There's the assumption that this will take over a year. Just like saying "It's been 5 quarters since the Patriots scored a touchdown." Obviously talking about 2 games.

alhypo: The IRS periodically puts out notices about this, with numbers of cards sold, like this one: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0%2C%2Cid=156044%2C00....

So wait... how do you know what quarter they've sold their 60,000th vehicle?

Do the dealers have this info and are they be liable if they misinform you about the currently available tax credit?

Can you call up the IRS and ask what vehicle number they're on or when the 60,000th vehicle was sold?

I have a question: When would one reach the 'fifth quarter'?
