Anyone else notice how the used EV tax credit ($4,000 glory for anything under $25k from a legit dealer) is quietly turning the market into a bargain hunter's fever dream-while new EV fanboys are still mortgaging their souls for that "fresh out the factory" smell? I'm scouting a 2020 Mach-E with 40k miles for $22k pre-credit, income-eligible and all (under the MAGI limits, duh). Point-of-sale rebate means no waiting for tax season tears.
But here's the kicker: are prices already creeping up 10-20% because flippers caught wind? Data from Recurrent shows used Leafs and Bolts holding steady-ish, but Teslas? Forget it, they're pricing in the subsidy like it's their birthright. Stacking with state perks (shoutout to CO's extra $5k or NY's chaos)? Spill your wins/losses-did you haggle the dealer down post-credit, or get ghosted? East Coast folks, don't sleep on this before winter range anxiety hits. Newbies, congrats on that $7,500 tease, but used is where the adults play. What's your steal?
