That shouldn't be MSRP for a BEV. If you're still considering the car, PM me and I'm happy to help you work out the details and what a good deal for your car "should" be.

As of April 8th, there are 6,745 stickers left (63,255 issued). I thought they were going to go faster, but it looks like they're going at roughly 2,750 a month.

How many miles per year?

I agree with Pancakes. 30 month is almost definitely the way to go both because of his reasons about the future of EVs, but also because you essentially get your car for the last 6 months for free because of the CA $2500 rebate.

If you aren't in a big rush, you should absolutely wait it out and keep checking around at other dealerships. Call them on the phone if they't not responding. What you really want is at least one dealership to offer you better in one aspect of the deal, so that you can use it as leverage with...

Most recent purchases I've heard about (including my own) have been at least 17% off MSRP. If you can play a little hardball, make sure you get at least 17%, I'd say.

1. If he's taking $6k off MSRP, that's only 11.5%. I guarantee you can get him to drop to AT LEAST 17% off MSRP. 2. What is the KBB/Edmunds trade-in AND private party values on your cars? 3. What do you still owe and on which car?

So, not trying to be Negative Nancy, but the program says that you have to apply for the rebate within 18 months of purchase or lease. If you wait until your 24 month lease is up to buy it, you'll be outside of that window. I would strongly suggest trying to contact the rebate project and seeing...

Hmm. I just happened to stumble across a random Google review from someone that bought at Crevier about a week ago. His review specifically mentions that they participate in the program, so I think I need to call back and talk to someone that knows better.

Yes, that's the one. I've seen it listed as Flexible Mobility, Alternate Mobility (which is actually what I meant to call it and just mistyped. Hah.), Alternative Mobility, etc. I leased from the Internet Director (not that his title necessarily means he's right, but you would hope) and when I...

Hmm. Well, maybe they did it differently for you, but I bet if you look at the section of your lease agreement where it says "Amount due at signing", you'll see your $5500 rebate at the bottom as part of that payment. If you do, that means it's a rebate and was not taken off the price of the...

Thanks. I contacted them, but they have not started it yet. Many of the dealerships I've called have said they plan on it, but have not completed the whole process yet.

Congrats on the new car! You made the right decision. Leasing is the way to go with this car. I'm definitely not the first to point out that the i3 will be pretty outdated in the next 2-3 years with the improvements in battery technology. There's already lots of talk of affordable (i.e...

Gotcha. Thanks. I'm gonna start calling around today. I'll post what I find.

Does anyone know of any southern California dealerships that are participating in this program? I bought from Irvine BMW, but they're not participating. Next step is to call every dealership (as far as I know, there's no list available online), so I figured I'd ask here first. Thanks!

wearymicrobe, I don't know who you spoke with, but I also just leased from Irvine less than a week ago and got what I'm pretty confident is a pretty killer deal. A trade-in was involved, so it's a little more complicated than the standard thing, but PM me if you're still interested enough to...

I'm new to EVs and have been reading about charging etiquette, but one thing confuses me. I'm reading lots of talk about plugging in other cars (either because you took theirs for a bit or because they parked nearby and left their charging door open). From what I understand, essentially all...

So, just to clarify/better understand, if I held charge at, say, 75%, the idea is that, during the average day, I will likely be dipping into the gas tank, yes? Wouldn't I only be getting 10-20 miles of pure electric? I definitely understand the idea of wanting to hold it at something like 25%...

What is sales tax where you live? And/or do you know what money factor they're going with? From your given information, they went about 16% off MSRP, which is pretty good (maybe you could squeeze out a tiny bit more). But without knowing your sales tax I can't figure your money factor, but I...

Thanks so much, everyone. That information helps a lot.
