(NY state) Are there tax savings on a new lease if i'm trading in car I own (paid off)?

I’m looking to lease a car for the first time, and also first time working with a broker. I have a paid off car that I’d like to trade-in or sell.

After some research, it seems like for NY state, there is some tax savings if I trade in a car as it helps offset the tax I would pay on the purchase of a new car. But does that also apply to a new lease?

I’m trying to see if it’s better for me to try and trade-in my car to the dealership that the broker is getting the new lease from or to sell the car on my own (eg Carvana or another dealership).

Thanks!

Depending on the car you may also get more through a private sale.

If you trade in a car you own, not lease, there should a tax credit, although unless this is a total coincidence I think you’re the same person I’m emailing with lol.

probably a coincidence! I’m looking to lease a Volvo (looks like you specialize in BMWs?)

Very funny, was also talking to an NY BMW customer about this exact thing an hour ago.
