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 $6,500, Is This The M3 For Thee?
For $6,500, Is This The M3 For Thee?
While venerated, BMW's E30 M3 did lack certain features possessed by its later, and better performing, brethren. Today's E36 for example offers both a drop top and an. . . automatic transmission. Will that second item guarantee its price needs to down along with the top? Unsurprisingly, yesterday's toppled under...

For $11,000, That’s Willys Trike!
If home invader Goldilocks had decided to also steal one of the Bears rides, she might have found Mamma Bear's minivan to have too many wheels, and Papa's Harley to have too few. If da' Bears also owned today's Willys home-built, she might have found it just right. Will you...

For $15,900, Make Tracks
The great thing about a WRC rally-bred car is its all terrain-ability- the only thing able to slow it down being deep powder. Today's Subie WRX has even that surface beat, but will you find its price to be a big snow job? Okay, I promise, no more German cars...

Doesn't Every Truck Need A Flamethrower?
Stand and fight, or run away? That's not a question most of us face each day, but big boy toymaker VWerks wants to make sure you'll have what you need to choose the former. Namely, a flame-throwing Dodge pickup and a .50-caliber-topped 1-ton Jeep. I got to drive both of...

For $8,000, Does AMG Make This MB OMG?
The seller of today's AMG-powered W124 says it's unfit for soccer mom duty until Danica Patrick starts popping them out. Misogynistic rabble aside, its C36 drivetrain should make this wagon entertaining, but will you entertain its price? Speaking of women and German cars, due to its fun in the sun...

Jeep J12 Concept: First Drive
Ask any young boy to name their coolest car, they'll likely pick a Jeep or a truck. There's just something about both that hit all the right Cro-Magnon hot spots in any pre-pubescent boy's mind. But merge them together? Well, then you get possibly the greatest combination of utilitarianism and...
