as I wrote in my question, the choice of "actual expenses" did not allow for purchase price deduction. Please help resolve this
There is nothing to resolve. Regardless of what you choose, the cost of the vehicle is depreciated over time. The purchase price of the vehicle is never "permanently" deducted as a business expense of any type. It is depreciated over time. Period.
On some vehicles and in some situations, the cost of the vehicle can be partially or fully depreciated in the first year. But depreciation is not a permanent deduction. When you sell or otherwise dispose of the vehicle, all depreciation is recaptured and taxed in the year of the vehicle's sale or disposition.
If you elect to take the "per-mile" deduction each year, then a percentage of the per-mile amount includes depreciation. Therefore, no depreciation will appear on the 4562 for the vehicle.
