I understand that problem. I’ve structured my income so that I have a rather low tax bite and wouldn’t be able to get the full $7.5k either.

Which is a pile of bunk by itself.

Many people shopping for a LEAF are eligible for the full tax break or at least a partial one that takes a good chunk off the price. And there are state incentives too. In your state that is possibly an extra $ 5112. Meaning some people in your state could get a new Leaf for less than what you paid for your used Leaf!

Another debunk of yourself:
“The sales guy said it’s because you can get the full $7500 as a discount if you lease the car.”

Yes, of course people compare the net price (after incentives) of a new Leaf (purchased or leased) with that of a used one. Free market economics 101.
