Sounds like CO is very bad at writing law that actually accomplishes the purposes they seek. That said, arbitrage works on the price edges; there's hardly a scenario where there's thousands to be had with little effort.
Oregon stupidly offers $2,500 for used EV purchases to "modest" income people, and it requires the vehicle to be purchased from a dealership in Oregon. It's funded by charging a 1% fee on all vehicles purchased from a dealership. If funding is insufficient, people simply don't get the $2,500 they thought they would.
I'm telling you that you will never purchase a new $12,500 Bolt EV, so there's no point entertaining the idea. If that was possible, I'd be funding every CO Bolt EV purchase in the state and taking a cut of the profit.
