Deductions & credits

No, the downpayment itself is not considered a deduction.  

However, the better news is you can use the entire amount of the purchase price to calculate a depreciation deduction for this business asset.  If you are allowed a Section 179 Deduction, then the entire purchase price will be fully deductible in the year of purchase.  This is even true if you have a loan for this vehicle.
