Re: [EVDL] suggestions for buying a used leaf and fed tax credits

[Lawrence Rhodes via EV]

Depending on when you bought your iMev the cheap leases now might be a bargain. 
 Also list prices have come down also.  I'm not advocating any particular EV if 
you are going on price.  Maybe another discussion.What is the best cheap EV 
to buy?  Lawrence Rhodes

I have a I-MiEV with a 60 mile range and rarely go below 2/3 rds so why pay for 
more battery. I say know your needs and only buy what you need

The problem is the new Leaf's have two range upgrades coming so why wait for 
the first when the 2nd will be almost double range?  I think leasing to buy is 
the best option as you can always re up again if there is a new better model 
coming up.  The other option is to grab a super cheap lease on any EV on sale.

On no particular date as of now.  However : 

"Purchasers of qualified vehicles can continue to claim the credit until the 
manufacturer has sold 200,000 qualified vehicles for use in the United 
States. Once a manufacturer´s U.S. sales reach 200,000 qualified vehicles, 
the Credit for all qualified vehicles produced by the manufacturer will 
begin to phase-out over a one year period."

As of March, about 76,400 Nissan Leaves had been sold.  Over 30,000 of those 
were in 2014.  Assuming that sales continue at that rate, their tax credit 
should last 3-4 more years.

That said, I expect that shifts in the US political landscape will also 
affect the EV tax credit.  Potentially this could happen at any time, but 
it'd be more likely some time in 2017.

Harry,

The 2013 Leaf is a good year to look for used as it is a good tradeoff between 
cost and features. It has improvements to the battery. Look for the specific 
model that has the charging and other features that will meet your needs. I 
keep looking at used Leafs. I need to get one before the truck I drive wears 
out. I need the truck to pull a few trailers about a dozen times a year.

Hey, how is your motorcycle running, the one that looks like a Harley?

Have a great day,
Alan

 The tax credit only applies to the initial
 purchase of a new vehicle from a dealer.
 
 On the other hand...you can get like-new 2013
 Leafs for $13K cash on the barrelhead, as my parents just
 did a couple weeks ago.
