Which then begs the question - how do people expect to sell used Bolts for $20K?
I have a mortgage on a $360k home and still ended up taking the standard deduction this last year. The current tax credit structure is a joke. My bet is that most people buying with that in mind failed to do the math on it.

We only got half the credit back when the Escape Hybrid was introduced. Nothing has changed aside from the DEQ credit - which I am eligible for as a single father with 3 dependents - barely!
