And yet, here's another example of what I'm talking about: the VW e-golf (SE).

In some parts of the country, at least until about a month ago, people have been getting $8-9K of msrp. Combine this with the tax credits/rebates, and you have a situation like this:

$22,000 (sticker price) x 1.08875 (NY state/local area sales tax) = $23,952.50
- $9,500 (Federal Tax Credit + NY State Tax Rebate) = $14,452.50 (total price)

Right now on KBB, a 2016 VW e-golf SE, with outdated battery tech (the older, 83-mile battery), has a trade-in value of $13,071 and a private party value of $14,873.
How sure are you that's the actual selling price? I've been looking on cars.com on and off and the ones you always see for around $22K are the ones that include the fine print, "Price includes $7,500 Federal Rebate." That's how they are advertising it so low. They factor in the tax credit into the sale price.
