15 minutes on this forum, and they would learn the quick legal backdoor way to get that full $7,500 plus some.
When I bought mine, they were going for sticker plus. No rebates other than the $7500 tax credit. If you look now, you'll see dealer discounts, dealer rebates...I even saw a 2023 4xe at a NJ dealer offering $30,000 off...when I see what I owe versus trade in....yeah, it's clear the re-sale is down. The dealer told me they are not moving these off the lot. So it makes sense to offer the discounts and incentives they are...but that does affect the resale value...
If you aren’t trading, buying low is when you get the best value.
Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I think a Plaid would be pretty cool, but no credit, no dice. At some point EV’s will be pushed so hard and the incentives will be rolled out to everyone that it would make no financial sense to buy an ICE vehicle.
Perhaps. I'm thinking that taxpayers will get mighty sick of subsidizing private purchases of electric vehicles, requiring the rebates to be strictly factory sponsored.
The reason for the discounts, is either Stellantis sell their own EVs to offset the emission fines, or they buy credits to offset to avoid paying fines.
The problem with the Plaid is its MSRP. Beyond the threshold for EV tax credit eligibility. I doubt it's $7500 that's keeping you from purchasing one.
I am considering the same thing. A sport 2 door.
All of these qualifications can be avoided by leasing. Leases are considered commercial transactions for purposes of the tax credit… Income vehicle pricing limitations don’t apply. Just check out leasing specials by BMW for instance. Many others are doing the same…I think Tesla also does this. I leased a BMW IX50 last year…and the tax credit was very much part of the transaction on a $95,000 vehicle.
Yep. We also leased an iX last year
Actually, end of 2023. BMW was offering an almost $10k lease incentive at the time.
