How does "passing the full credit" to the buyer apply when prices are negotiable? From what I understand, car dealerships don't have to sell new cars at MSRP prices. They can sell them for less or sell them for more. It would seem to me that in theory a dealership could sell a car for $7,500 more than MSRP and still apply the "full credit" towards the price.

I don't know how that would work with leases, but I would imagine it's the same. ??? Or is a lease a fixed price from the manufacturer? Do people negotiate to get cheaper leases? Can dealerships gouge customers when there's a shortage of leaseable vehicles?
