On a federal tax return there is not a tax credit for a vehicle purchased for personal use unless it is an electric or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. See this website for eligible vehicles purchased in 2017 - https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml
Certain vehicle registration fees are deductible as an itemized deduction on Form 1040 Schedule A. Louisiana is one of the states where the registration fee that is based on the value of the vehicle is deductible.
