Maybe. I don't know what the incentives were like just before the Gen II. The Chevy bolt is discounted about $10k below MSRP as a reference, and nothing is coming to replace the current model.
On top of all that, there's a minimum $10k from state and federal subsidies. If I could get a Leaf $10k below MSRP and $10k back from subsidy, I might be looking at a new $15k Leaf.
I'm about 50/50 new vs used for myself at the moment. Seems unlikely one would lose money if they sold 2 years after purchase.
