I am a salesperson at a car dealership. My only vehicle is a company provided demo. Basically, if I reach a certain sales goal every month, I get to use the car. We have to turn them in after 5k miles and get a new one. They are not registered to us. I've noticed lately that I do alot of sales work outside of work as a condition of having this company car. People stop me all the time to ask me about the car, ask me about other cars, or to get my card, and I catch people peeking in and reading the window sticker quite often. The actual purpose of the car is to be used as a "demonstrator" meaning it's basically a moving ad for the dealership. As a result, is it possible for me to deduct any costs associated with the car, such as gas or repairs, because no matter where I'm driving I'm still technically conducting business? I don't have any other reason to contact a tax professional and I really don't want to spend alot of money to get a simple answer. Thanks to anyone who can help!
