I am considering buying a used EV assuming I would be eligible for the 4k Federal used EV rebate. However, in this particular situation the seller is in the process of a lease buyout. When it comes to Nissan I know that the leasing bank takes the initial 7.5K rebate upon the initial lease. However, I am wondering if in this case the person buying out the lease will take the 4k rebate as the “2nd owner” or if I as the “2nd owner” would be eligible.
If I wouldn’t be eligible for this rebate I would likely just opt for new.
Nope, the dealer doesn’t own the car. Some manufacturers can’t sell their leased vehicles directly to the leasee in some states and require the leasee to go through a dealer. I am not sure how those situations are handled.
