If you choose to get a refund, you will receive the contract price of the vehicle including all credits and allowances for any trade­in vehicle. If you leased your vehicle, you will receive your downpayment, any trade­in allowance, and the total of lease payments made to date.

In either case your refund will be reduced by a reasonable allowance for use. For 2000, the use allowance is $.108 per mile or 10% of the purchase price, whichever is less.

Note: You may keep your vehicle until you have been given a refund or an acceptable replacement vehicle. However, miles driven during this time will be included when calculating the reasonable allowance for use.

(1) The total purchase price (total price before you subtracted any rebates or deposits or your trade­in allowance) or, if a leased vehicle, the lease payments made to date; included in the full purchase price are the costs of all dealer added options or services (e.g., radio, air conditioning);
