If your business requires vehicles for its day-to-day operations, then you’re in luck! The Section 179 Tax Benefit allows you to recoup the full or partial cost of qualifying new or pre-owned vehicles. Businesses of all sizes can now use the Section 179 Tax Benefit— but you cannot claim the benefit unless the vehicle you’ve purchased meets strict qualifications, or is used for business purposes at least 50% of the time. Let’s take a closer look at what this means in practice.

Section 179

A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van may be considered Section 179 property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This means that a qualifying business may elect to expense the cost of the van—rather than capitalize and depreciate it—during the tax year in which it is acquired and placed in service.

For 2025, businesses may expense up to $2,500,000 of Section 179 property, subject to IRS limits and eligibility requirements. Additionally, upfits or modifications purchased at the time of sale may also qualify for Section 179 expensing.

Please note: Section 179 eligibility can depend on factors specific to your business and tax situation. We recommend consulting your tax advisor to ensure qualification and to maximize available deductions.

Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles

Businesses have many different needs, and virtually all of our vehicles have been used as commercial vehicles at one point or another. With that said, when most Danville and Sunol shoppers think of Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles, they think of two models in particular:

  • The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a capable van with a segment-leading service interval and top-tier technology features. It’s available as a cargo van, a passenger van, or in a variety of other configurations.
  • If the Sprinter doesn’t feel like a perfect fit, there’s the smaller Mercedes-Benz Metris. Since it shares many advantages with the Sprinter, it’s a great choice for any growing San Ramon-area business.
