Maybe, but when you buy your car it&#x27;s important to realize that these $7,500 are not just free money, they have a direct impact on your car resell value.<p>So if you buy a leaf that starts at $30,000, get rebates to $20,000, you must remember that since anyone can get it new for $20,000 that&#x27;s the actual &quot;new&quot; value to take before you apply depreciation.<p>In other words you&#x27;re not really buying a $30k car for $20k, you&#x27;re buying a $20k car.
