From what I’ve been told and what I’ve read, GM offers high lease rebates to compensate for the Fed $7,500 credit. Did Fucillo specifically itemize the Fed credit on your quote?
Either the dealer is full of s**t or GM financial has different rules with allocating the Fed tax credit into a lease. I asked the dealer 20x if and why not re: the applicability of the Fed tax credit into the deal.
Bolt deals in New York may get better at some point, there’s a bill in the state senate to exempt them from sales tax like NJ, but who knows when or if that will pass/get signed.
I was surprised to learn EVs weren’t exempt when I started researching the Bolt. NY is all smoke and mirrors: thin veil of forward thinking with alternatives to gasoline hiden behind the usual politics of taxation. Yeah, heres a 2k rebate that you’ll pay right back to us.
Not sure how you got that. By paying acq, DMV, doc and tax upfront ($2500) you save just $83 over the entire lease term or $2.3/month, by my calc. ($16,445 vs 16,528)
