The last vehicle I purchased (the 2014 Sportwagen) was $14K out the door. $13,630 purchase and $370 for title / plate / registration. That $370 is what the state actually charges. In my very first conversation I was VERY clear with the salesman that I would only negotiate out the door price and trade in was a completely separate transaction that would be negotiated independent of buying the Sportwagen.
In Oregon title and plates prices depend on rated mpg. An EV is $24.50 for a plate, $306 for registration and $187 for the title = $517.50 total. If you enroll in OReGO fee per mile the registration is $86 so $297.50 total. (Our registration is good for 2 years in Oregon)
So long story short - in Oregon out-the-door for an EV is $297.50 or $517.50 + whatever you negotiated for the price of the vehicle.
The $2500 rebate for low to moderate income households can either be processed by the dealer if you want the $2500 deducted from the sale price or you can do the paperwork yourself and send it to the state for a rebate check to be mailed directly.
Realistically you could expect to pay about $1800 to $2000 out of pocket for a $4,000 dollar used EV. If a dealer advertised a Leaf for $4000 and then tried to add $2500 in fees to the sale price you should immediately walk out of the dealership never to return.
