My parents just spent a little over $20k on a Leaf. Not exactly a Bentley.

Congratulations, your parents are relatively wealthy.

And, did they buy a new one? MSRP is $30,680: https://www.nissanusa.com/electric-cars/leaf/versions-specs/...

New, yes, $30k no. electric utility provided a significant deal. In some states you can apparently get the 2016 model for $15k out the door now.

A 2016 model year car, at the end of 2017, is not “new”. Also, I don’t know what specific electric utility subsidy you’re referring to, but that doesn’t help your argument, in this thread about subsidies, IMO.

What was the out-the-door price for your parent’s 2017 Leaf?
