OP,
I'm sorry we cannot provide any hidden gems of advice and I do understand where you are coming from.
In the spirit of getting a better deal next time around, avoid KBB as a shopping tool. Truecar.com gives I think better market value data, e.g
https://www.truecar.com/prices-new/nissan/leaf-pricing/2020/?exteriorColorId=noPreference&incentiveIds=64465631&interiorColorId=1033888&optionPreference=popular_configuration&updateAttempts=2&userSelectedExteriorColor=false&userSelectedIncentives=false&userSelectedInteriorColor=false&userSelectedStyle=true&viprStyleId=68347&zipcode=87111
Although the best approach is to come to a car forum like this one. There is always a thread for people looking for the best deals going. While you may not get absolute best deal, you will be a much more informed consumer.
Or just get a Tesla
And actually, now that I think about it ... since you paid ~ $40 pre tax, why didn't you buy a Tesla ? It sounds like the difference between ~ $32.5k after tax credit for the LEAF or ~ $38k for the Tesla Model 3 SR+
