Does the Lincoln Corsair qualify for the car loan interest deduction?
The 2025–2028 deduction turns on where a vehicle is finally assembled — not the badge. Here's where the 2025–2026 Lincoln Corsair is built and what it means for your loan interest.

PASS — assembled in the USA
The Lincoln Corsair qualifies on the assembly test. Assembly is one of four gates — you also need a new vehicle, personal use, a 2025–2028 loan, and income under the phase-out.
The short answer
The Corsair was built at Ford's Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, alongside the Escape, until production ended in December 2025 so the plant could be retooled for an electric pickup. Every 2025–2026 Corsair on a US lot is therefore US-assembled and passes the test — but the announced next-generation Corsair is to be built in China, so do not assume the answer carries forward.
Where the Lincoln Corsair is assembled
| Assembly plant | Location | Assembly test |
|---|---|---|
| Louisville Assembly Plant | Louisville, KY | ✓ United States |
Confirm the other three tests
A US-assembly PASS is only the first gate. Each remaining condition has its own guide:
New & personal-use — used cars and leases don't qualify→ Loan dated 2025–2028 — refinancing keeps eligibility→ Income under the phase-out — run the MAGI calculator→
Frequently asked questions
Is the Lincoln Corsair made in the USA?
The 2025–2026 Corsair is — it was assembled at Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Kentucky until production ended in December 2025. Those units meet the US final-assembly test.
Will a future Corsair still qualify?
Lincoln has said the next-generation Corsair will be built in China and imported. A China-built Corsair would fail the US assembly test, so decode the VIN on whatever you are actually buying.
How do I confirm my Corsair's assembly country?
Check the VIN's first character: 1, 4 or 5 means US assembly and passes. Our VIN checker reads the final-assembly country directly.
