I bought a new car (paid cash) and kept the old car to give to my wife.  I use my personal vehicle in a sales role at work. Company uses a FAVR plan called Motus to reimburse some expenses and some mileage.  Can I write off business use portion the purchase a new car under this arrangement?

If you are an employee there is no car deduction.

Are you a W-2 employee?  You are not asking your question from Self-Employed.

Can I deduct job-related expenses on my tax return?

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses on a federal return.  Job-related expenses were eliminated as a federal deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond.  Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.
