I have good deals on BOTH !
I can get the 2014 New for $17k. It has the USB, Locking hub bolts and back up sensors.... NONE of these I want/need. But it comes with it.
OR the 2016 no extra's for around $20k
What makes me torn is the Excise tax we have here in Mass-a-Tax-us Which is based on the MSRP of the vehicle.
Year before Manufacture 50% ($298 roughly)
Year of Manufacture 90% ($536
year after that 60% ($358
year after that 40% ($238
" " " 25% ($152
Then 10% every year
Plus the extra $3k for the car.
Sales tax is only about $260 more for the 2016
And the Insurance will be about $200 more for the 2016.
Seems like I am splitting hairs, and I am. Get a new battery and, hopefully, not have to worry about issues with it. But then again, they both would have the same warranty on it for the same time.
Payments would be about $45 difference. But you know sometimes that difference makes all the world.
I can get the Fed credit (or at least just about all of it- but will need to change my with-holdings to do it soon)
I can also get a Mass Mor-EV check for $2,500
Just putting it out there to see if I can get thoughts on it to help me make up my mind.
* I would get a used 2012 if there was one here in my state that they would sell for under/at $6000. As the 2014 would be $7k after Rebate and fed credit.
