Car purchase tax-write off question

[spartanic]

I'm thinking about starting a website where I promote racing car parts. It'll mean I'll have to buy a car to promote these parts.

I'll probably use it from time to time on personal basis however since my business is online then more than likely 95% of the vehicle will be used for personal. Which would mean I wont deduct any of the miles driven unless it was for business reasons.

My question is would I be able to deduct the purchase price of the car?

No, you cannot deduct the car. But you can deduct mileage for allowable business use of the car.
