Ok... Its not for as long as you own the vehicle for business use. After 6 years you can no longer depreciate it, its fully depreciated, with a claim for a partial year in the first and 6th years. This IS the actual expense method, allowing you to recoup purchase costs. This method applies ONLY if you put the vehicle into business use from the first year of purchase. Standard mileage applies beyond this point. Figure out which gives you the better deduction and use it.
