Hi,
Was talking to a sales person at a local dealership as I was getting my car serviced (Atlanta area). I am considering buying a Leaf and I was told that the $7500 credit is deducted off the selling price. This seemed very strange to me since this would allow buyers who don't have $7500 worth of federal tax liabilities to benefit from the entire $7500. The math they too told me would work like this: Selling price of Leaf S model ($32000) - tax credit = $24500 + Georgia Title Fee of $1654 + Dealer Doc fees = Purchase price. Has anyone purchased a leaf like this or anybody at a dealer confirm that it can work like this?
I was under the assumption that I buy the leaf just like any other car and then the tax credits are something I have to final and claim.
Thanks,
Eaton
