Due to various factors, . What this means for the rest of us, is that the car market that was so unfavorable to buyers as of late, is starting to look like the good old days of big discounts and competitive deals.

This when the went into effect and essentially eliminated many EV/PHEV cars from qualifying. I bet no one could have predicted that if the government removed a large financial incentive for buying an EV, people would be less likely to shift away from a gas-powered car. However, even cars that still qualify for the $7500 tax credit are also experiencing a drop-off in consumer interest. The result is that some of these cars can be scored with hefty discounts under MSRP, which is a nice change of pace from the markups that were once commonplace.

In addition to the deals on the Korean and VW EVs mentioned in the previous post, here is a sampling of what the market is doing for a variety of EV and PHEV models.

Deals, Rebates On All-Electric Models

In some areas Ford is offering a $3,000 rebate for “aged inventory” combined with aggressive dealer discounts this means you can potentially can score a Mach-E at $10,000 off MSRP.

While not as dramatic as the Mach-E, even the F-150 Lighting can now be bought at reasonable prices, which is a nice surprise considering it was typically selling for significant premiums over sticker price when it first launched.

The Toyota Bz4x and Subaru Solterra have gotten mixed reviews, but buyers who can live with the flaws might be enticed with discounts over $7,000 off the MSRP.

Luxury automakers like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes aren’t advertising their deals as publically, but for those interested in leasing one of the expensive EVs there are some bonkers deals. Here is an example quote on a Mercedes EQS-

Now, an almost $1800 a month lease payment looks like a mortgage payment for most folks, but when you look at the ratio of monthly payment to the MSRP, it’s a pretty awesome deal.

For buyers that aren’t quite ready to jump to a full EV, plug-in models from Jeep and Chrysler have some heavy rebates on the hood as well.

Although for the Stellantis-made cars, the big discounts mostly apply to leases and only buyers in CARB states will get the deals.

While many of these offers are worth jumping on now if you happen to be in the market for these kinds of cars, historically, rebates and discounts get even stronger the closer we get to the fall. So it may be worth playing the waiting game just a bit longer

For $22,750, Could This Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole Get Your Horses Prancing?
I spotted today’s Ferrari for sale right out on the street like nobody’s business. Mondials do always stand out, but could this silver Quattrovalvole’s price also be outstanding? In 1970, conceptual artist John Baldessari enlisted the assistance of five of his friends on a project that saw the destruction of...

At $2,495, Could This 1988 BMW 735i End Your Shiftless Ways?
Today’s BMW is a partial countdown of a car. That’s because it’s a Seven with a six and a five, meaning six cylinders and five speeds. Let’s see if its price makes it ready to launch. Oh what a sad sad day yesterday proved to be. Our fell in a...

A $77,000 2018 Ford Expedition Is A Very Fine Family Truckster
The Platinum 4x4 is almost as big and broad as a half-ton pickup truck, but it really feels more like a station wagon. A station wagon that got a healthy dose of superhero serum and is ready to take your family (or Uber XL passengers) around in far more comfort...

Julian is in the market for his first car and unlike the rest us nutjobs he doesn’t want to buy a $700 Jeep that is two decades old. His goal is to get the newest and safest ride that has some all-weather capability for less than $10,000. What car should...

At $6,500, Does This 1988 Pontiac Fiero Have The Right Formula?
The Holy Grail is how the seller of today’s Fiero Formula describes the car. It may have all the right kit, but does its price have what it takes to push it over the edge? What scares you? For me it’s circus clowns and roadside sushi in Nebraska. For many,...
