Not bad.
Your 30% sounds like FEDERAL TAX. Where does the question of federal tax brackets come in? I was thinking this is how it works:

Car: 30,000
NY sales tax: 8.625% = $2587
NY sales tax table for salary $20k+ = 6.85%
So refund = 6.85% of 2,587 = $177.

And so, agree with the OP - savings are really negligible. When the quoted post said $936, I felt I had been wrong about this tax credit law. Can someone confirm?
