Limits the credit to $2,000 in 1992, and $1,000 in 1993. Allows an individual qualifying for such credit, at the time of such purchase, to assign the right to the credit to the retail dealer in exchange for a price reduction of equal value. Allows the retail dealer to assign such right to the manufacturer of the vehicle. Allows manufacturers to use such credit against their tax liability.
