I don't follow the news, but I hear that the $7,500 federal tax credit is on the chopping block. If the subsidy goes away, used prices will jump up quickly.

It seems used Leafs have come down a little since I last checked. The Model 3 just started shipping to customers, and I hear the gen II Leaf will available in January.

I'm thinking February will be a good time to buy a used Leaf assuming the federal credit isn't repealed.

Any guesses on when the rapid Leaf depreciation will end? The price I'm willing to pay for a 2013 Leaf is around $4k. Would like to get my parents into an EV soon since they rarely travel more than 30 miles, and have other cars available for when they do.
